Contra Costa Health Care
Program
Recommendations
64/1/24 66
Healthcare Coverage
74/1/24
•An increasing number of people have become eligible
for low-cost or no -cost health insurance:
•Affordable Care Act expanded Medicaid and Covered California was created,
offering subsidized health insurance: Effective 1/1/14
•Eligibility for Medi-Cal expanded to cover ALL California residents under 138%
of the Federal Poverty Level: Final phase effective 1/1/24
•Undocumented immigrants are excluded from:
•Participating in the State Health Insurance Exchange: Covered California
•Participating in the Contra Costa County Coverage Program: Basic Health Care
Program
67
Recommendation for a Contra Costa Health
Care Access Program
Component Recommendation
1.Eligibility
a.Federal Poverty Level
(FPL)/Income Range
b.Exclusions
For Contra Costa residents:
a.between 138 and 300% FPL* (regardless of documentation status), and
b.who are NOT eligible for full scope Medi-Cal, Medicare, or on other insurance
2. Covered Services Comprehensive Program
•Primary care (including mild to moderate behavioral health), specialty, emergency
services and inpatient
3. Network •Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC)
•County Health Center Clinics, AND
•Community Clinics
84/1/24
Create a comprehensive coverage program the creates parity between documented and
undocumented residents by eliminating existing Basic Health Plan restrictions.
68
Unsubsidized Care is Unaffordable
94/1/24
Low-Income undocumented residents aren’t accessing care
•Fear of immigration process
•Fear of cost
•Prioritizing immediate necessities
“I don’t have enough
money to pay my bills let
alone my health.”“He needed medical attention
for a hernia but fears the high
cost of an operation in case he
needs it.”
“I have not had any type of help
regarding my health and doctors or
insurance is too expensive, health
insurance is not accessible to everyone.”

Recommended income range: 138 -300% FPL
104/1/24
For a household size of one (see

Recommendation: Covered Services
114/1/24
Comprehensive Services: Primary care, specialty care, emergency, and inpatient
services
Coverage Programs are NOT as comprehensive as insurance:
•Limited network
•Restricted to services provided within that network
A comprehensive coverage program is:
•more equitable,
•helps people prioritize their health,
•reduces emergency room utilization,
•prevents suffering
71
Recommendation: Network
124/1/24
Recommended Network:
•Community Clinics,
•Contra Costa County Health Center
Clinics, and
•Contra Costa Regional Medical Center
Second Option:
•Contra Costa County Health Center
Clinics, and
•Contra Costa Regional Medical Center
•Expanded network provides
more client choice and
increases access
•Requires clear referral
pathways between
Community Clinics
•Build off Basic Health Care
Program and CARES
72
Recommended Program: Cost Estimates
134/1/24
•The costs of a comprehensive program are NOT all new costs.
•CCH projects that the costs of providing care through County Health
Center Clinics and CCRMC can be covered through uncompensated
care.
•CCH estimates an annual cost of $750,000 to include primary care at
the Community Clinics
73

Projected Numbers enrolled at Community Clinics (4)1,100
Estimated New Annual Program Cost for Community Clinics(5)$750,000
144/1/24
1)Based on EHSD and UC Labor Center data
2)Estimated enrollment first year of the program
3)The total enrollment estimate assumes that a maximum of 50% of those who are eligible would enroll in the program.
4)Estimated 1,100 will enroll at a Community Clinic, the balance of the enrollees would receive primary care through the
county clinics.
5)The estimated cost for primary care at the Community Clinics is $56 per member per month for people who received
primary care through a community clinic.
74
Proposed Next Steps
154/1/24 75
Recommendations with Board Approval
164/1/24
1.Immediately:
•Eliminate residency requirement for Basic Health Care Program
•Community Clinics seek sustainable funding, such as Measure X, for primary care with support of the Stakeholder Workgroup including CCH: $750,000 in year one.
2.Phase in: CCH to lead development of:
•Enrollment system
•Participant fee structure, and
•Referral mechanism from community clinics to CCRMC network
3.On-going: CCH to track and evaluate enrollment, program costs and funding needs

Lessons from Other
Counties

Summary of Other County Programs
•Review of Alameda County, San Mateo County, San Francisco
County, and Santa Clara Counties
•Some counties are in the processing of rethinking programs,
however, as of January 1, 2024:
•Coverage programs range from 139-200% FPL (most restrictive programs) to under
650% FPL (most expansive program)
•Administrators include County Health Department, Health Plans, and County Hospital.
•The majority of programs exclude people who are eligible for Medi-Cal or other
insurance.
194/1/24 79
Key Take -aways From Other County Programs
1.People who were enrolled in County programs in 2023, and were under 138% FPL, became eligible for Medi-Cal on January 1, 2024.
2.Program income maximums ranged; however, the majority of program enrollment (prior to 1/1/24) for all programs was in the 0-138% range.
3.Enrollment numbers are NOT correlated with size of county or FPL cap
204/1/24 80
Key Take -aways From Other County Programs
4.Most of the programs include coverage for primary,
specialty, and hospital services provided by community clinics and hospital systems and have budgets significantly higher than the CARES primary care only
program.
•Contra Costa County spent $47.9M in uncompensated care for both documented and
undocumented patients in FY 22-23.

Contra Costa County Healthcare Options Workgroup
Findings and Recommendations
April 1, 2024
Prepared by: Rachel Metz Consulting
Executive Summary
The Contra Costa County Healthcare Options Workgroup, a stakeholder group with
representatives from: 1) the Board of Supervisors’ Offices, 2) Contra Costa Health (CCH), 3)
Contra Costa Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) 4) Aliados Health, and 5)
Healthy Contra Costa, One Contra Costa Coalition (#OCCC) (made up of local advocacy,
community-based, and faith-based organizations) engaged in a process to:
• review and learn from health coverage programs in other counties,
• analyze Contra Costa County specific data, and
• discuss a potential health coverage program in Contra Costa County based on principles
of equity, health care as a basic human right, and increasing access to health coverage for
the remaining uninsured.
The discussions and research of the Workgroup resulted in a recommendation for a Contra Costa
County health program with the following elements:
Primary Elements Recommendations
1. Eligibility
a. Federal Poverty Level
(FPL)/ Income Range
b. Exclusions
For Contra Costa County residents:
a. between 138% and 300% of the Federal Poverty Level (proxy
for income), and
b. who are NOT eligible for any other program such as Medi-
Cal or on other insurance (regardless of documentation status)
2. Covered Services Comprehensive Program
• Primary care including mild to moderate behavioral health
provided at primary care clinics, specialty medical care,
emergency care, and inpatient services
3. Network • County Hospital
• County Health Center Clinics AND
• Community Clinics
4. Estimated New Cost $750,000 annually of new costs to fund primary care and
behavioral health services at community clinics

If the proposed recommendation is approved by the Board of Supervisors, other critical program
elements, including administrator, enrollment system, provider payment structure, enrollment
and/or participant fee structure, referral mechanisms and coordination of care, and outreach and
education will be developed and phased in, moving forward with initial changes immediately.
This planning process will include an analysis of how best to leverage existing programs and
administrative structures.
Process
At the September 19, 2023, Board of Supervisors meeting, Contra Costa Health presented on a
report of the Contra Costa CARES program, which ended December 31, 2023. The #OCCC
identified barriers and unmet health needs in Contra Costa County and provided several systemic
recommendations in the Contra Costa CARES Outreach and Education report, including a
recommendation to expand eligibility to people above 138% of the Federal Poverty Level
(FPL).1 The Board requested a follow-up study to look at issues raised in the report, provide data
on the number of people who remained uninsured in Contra Costa County, learn what other
counties are doing, and provide information about future options in Contra Costa.
A process was developed involving multiple County departments and community stakeholders:
• Contra Costa Health (CCH) contracted with Rachel Metz Consulting to provide
consultation and technical assistance to Contra Costa Health with this process. Rachel
Metz is a consultant with more than 25 years of experience working on issues related to
health care, health insurance, Medicaid, homelessness, and housing, including specific
experience designing and building the Health Program of Alameda County (HealthPAC).
The consultant’s scope was to research programs in other counties, provide support to
CCH with research and material for a stakeholder group, and provide a written report
summarizing the group’s research, analysis, and recommendations.
• CCH collaborated with One Contra Costa to facilitate the stakeholder process.
• CCH provided Contra Costa County cost information.
• Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) provided
estimates for the numbers of uninsured.
• The stakeholder group, which included representatives from the Board of Supervisors’
Offices and #OCCC, provided input, data, and expertise. #OCCC, which is made up of
local advocacy, community-based, faith-based organizations, and resident leaders, urges
policymakers in Contra Costa County to expand access to comprehensive, quality, and
timely healthcare for all Contra Costa County residents regardless of income,
immigration status, background, gender, and/or age.
Five stakeholder meetings were held between December 2023 and March 2024 (December 21,
2023, January 29, 2024, February 27, 2024, March 1, 2024, and April 1, 2024) and additional
subgroup meetings were held to review information, discuss data and options, and align on

recommendations. The discussions and the information in this report acknowledges the
importance of closing the current gap of inequities that still exists among the remaining
uninsured, and the recognition of who were most harmed by the pandemic (low-income people
of color who often risked their health in delivering essential services).
Background
Health Coverage and the Changing Landscape
Access to comprehensive, quality healthcare services contribute to overall health, improving the
lives of the people receiving care, preventing the risk
that people will delay treatment due to fears of cost,
and reducing high-cost emergency care.
Having health insurance helps people access and pay
for healthcare services. Health insurance is required
to include essential health benefits including hospital
care; visits to a primary care doctor and specialists; outpatient procedures such as surgery,
laboratory tests, and diagnostic services; pregnancy and newborn care; preventive and routine
care; mental health care; emergency and urgent care; rehabilitation therapy; and some home
health or nursing home care after a hospital stay. Health insurance is preferable to health care
“coverage” or “access” programs because they are not restricted by geography (ie- members are
covered even if they are traveling) and generally have a broader network of providers.
Access to, and enrollment in, health insurance has increased significantly over the past 10 years:
• In 2014, the Affordable Care Act expanded Medicaid eligibility and provided health
insurance subsidies for people up to 400% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) through
health care exchanges, and
• Over the past two years, California has expanded Medi-Cal coverage to undocumented
residents up to 138% FPL.
However, not everyone has health insurance. EHSD estimates that there are approximately
53,839 people in Contra Costa County without health insurance across all income levels and
documentation status. (See Appendix 1: EHSD Contra Costa Uninsured Estimates.) Some people
are eligible for free or low-cost health insurance (either Medi-Cal or subsidies through Covered
California) but are not enrolled, and others, undocumented residents, are excluded from low-cost
Covered California health insurance. Assembly Bill 4 was introduced by Assembly Member
Arambula in December 2022. The bill would allow people otherwise not able to obtain health
insurance through Covered California due to immigration status to become eligible; however, the
bill has not moved forward.
The county provides a coverage program, the Basic Health Care Program for people under 300%
of the Federal Poverty Level for people who don’t have health insurance. While coverage
programs are not as comprehensive as health insurance because of the limited network and lack

of portability, it increases access to care for people who cannot afford, and/or do not have access
to health insurance. Like Covered California, the Basic Health Care Program requires that adults
be United States Citizens or legal permanent residents.
The Contra Costa County’s Board of Supervisors declared systemic racism to be a public health
crisis. Yet, access to health coverage is not equitable, as currently undocumented residents are:
• excluded from receiving federally subsidized health insurance through Covered
California. This includes an estimated 10,500 people in Contra Costa County between
138 and 300% FPL.2 Without a subsidy, health
insurance is prohibitively expensive for low-
income populations, yet people still need health
coverage.
• Not eligible for health coverage through the Basic
Health Care Program, and
• further disenfranchised due to fears about
accessing care.
The recommendation in this report is to create a comprehensive coverage program that
eliminates the gaps in care for low-income undocumented residents by developing an efficient
and equitable hybrid delivery system that leverages the existing infrastructure of the Basic
Health Care Program and the services formerly provided through CARES to create an access
program that helps to address the remaining gap.
County Indigent Care Programs
Counties receive realignment funds from the State and are responsible for providing basic health
services to uninsured residents. The basic health services or coverage offered by the counties is
NOT insurance as the services and coverage are provided in a limited geographic area by limited
provider networks, and the services are restricted; however, these coverage programs offer care
to people who do not have access to health insurance.
Counties have modified their approach to providing these basic health services to the uninsured
as the landscape has changed. Starting in 2007, the State funded the Coverage Initiative Program
and the Low Income Health Program (LIHP), which provided counties with funding to help
2 The estimated number of people who would be eligible for the proposed program was derived from the from the
Contra Costa EHSD analysis completed in February 2024 (see Appendix 1). EHSD estimated that there are
currently approximately 17,644 people who are uninsured in Contra Costa County between 138 and 300% of the
Federal Poverty Level.
For purposes of this report, it was estimated that 60% of those who are uninsured between 138 and 300% of the
Federal Poverty Level, 10,500, are undocumented residents and, therefore, not eligible for Covered California.
This methodology is consistent with the UC Berkeley Labor Center estimate that there will be a projected 11,000
undocumented Contra Costa residents under 65 who are uninsured in 2024.

expand their programs as a “bridge to health care reform.” Counties were encouraged to provide
“health coverage programs” that were similar to Medi-Cal in order to engage and pre-enroll
people who would be eligible for Medi-Cal in 2014. Counties varied in their approach and
whether they used local funds to provide the same type of services to people over 138% FPL as
well as whether to cover people who are undocumented.
Due to the expansion in Medi-Cal eligibility, and the corresponding decrease in the number of
uninsured, many counties are re-envisioning the scope
of their indigent care programs; however, despite the
progress in getting people insured, there continues to be
gaps for the low-income undocumented community.
This includes community members who temporarily
received COVID health care services during the
pandemic and now who have no affordable healthcare option to treat their post-COVID health
conditions. 3
Lessons from Other Bay Area Counties
Information was collected from four neighboring counties—Alameda, San Francisco, San
Mateo, and Santa Clara (see Appendix 2, Bay Area Health Care Programs, for details)—through
interviews with program staff and review of publicly provided information in December 2023
and January 2024. Some of the programs are starting to consider changes to their current
programs as they review the impacts of changing enrollment.
Key take-aways include:
1. People who were enrolled in County programs in 2023, and were under 138%
FPL, including all Contra Costa CARES enrollees, became eligible for Medi-Cal
on January 1, 2024.
2. Program income maximums ranged from 138% FPL (Contra Costa) to 650% FPL
(Santa Clara); however across all programs, the majority of program enrollees
(prior to 1/1/24), were in the 0-138% income range and are now eligible for Medi-
Cal. 4
• In Healthy San Francisco (a program that goes up to 500% FPL) 57% of
enrollees in 2023 were under 138% FPL, 19% of enrollees were between
138 and 200% FPL and 17% were between 200% and 300% FPL, and 7%
were between 300 and 500% FPL.
3. Enrollment numbers are NOT correlated with size of county.
• For example, San Mateo County’s population is 40% of the size of Santa
Clara County’s and is for people up to 200% FPL instead of 650% FPL
(Santa Clara threshold), yet San Mateo had approximately 22,500

500% FPL, San Mateo County 0-200% FPL, Santa Clara under 650% FPL.

enrollees in 2023 compared to approximately 10,400 served in Santa Clara
County.
4. Most of the programs include coverage for primary, specialty medical, and
hospital services provided by community clinics and hospital systems and have
budgets that are significantly higher than the CARES primary care only program.
• The Contra Costa CARES program was a primary care program in which
care was provided by community clinics. The CARES annual budget
amount of $1.5 M does not reflect costs of services provided to clients by
the County hospital and health centers. The estimated cost incurred by
CCRMC to provide uncompensated care to both documented and
undocumented patients in FY 22-23 was $47.9M.
• The program budgets for services, for counties San Mateo and Alameda,
both counties with comprehensive programs that provided budgets, are
approximately $200 per enrollee per month. Note that programs do not
actually use a per member per month methodology for the program.
• The Contra Costa CARES program paid contractors $56 per member per
month for the primary care program. This does NOT include
uncompensated care costs incurred by the County for inpatient, specialty,
and emergency care (the more costly services).
5. For counties that have enrollment fees, the revenue covers a very small
percentage of the cost.
• Enrollment fees can make the cost to the participant more comparable to
that of Covered California.
Current Status of Contra Costa County Coverage Programs
The Basic Health Care Program is a temporary health coverage program for low-income Contra
Costa County residents up to 300% of the FPL who do not have other health insurance. Health
care services are provided at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health
Centers. Since 2009, undocumented immigrants have been excluded from the program.
The Contra Costa CARES program was launched in 2015 to provide healthcare to people not
eligible for Medi-Cal. It was a free primary health care program for Contra Costa residents 0-
138% FPL who were not eligible for any other health insurance. People received free
preventative healthcare services from three clinics: La Clinica de la Raza, LifeLong Medical
Care, and Brighter Beginnings. CARES program participants accessed specialty medical services
through Operation Access or through the emergency room services at Contra Costa Regional
Medical Center. The CARES program was initially funded by Kaiser Permanente, Sutter, and
John Muir Health, Contra Costa Health Plan, and the County General Fund. The hospitals ceased
funding the program and additional funds were provided via Measure X funding. An estimated
47% of costs for care were for chronic conditions.
CARES utilization data indicates that between December 2015 and June 2023 (See Appendix 3:
CARES Utilization Data):
91
4/1/2024
Page 7
• 8,210 individuals were enrolled in CARES,
• 45,087 visits were provided, and
• 47% of visits were for chronic conditions.
As part of the outreach and education efforts for the CARES program, stories were collected
from applicants. The experiences and voices of the CARES population emphasize the unique
challenges immigrants face when accessing care, such as:
• needing medical attention for a hernia, but fearing the high cost,
• not seeking care due to needing money for basic necessities such as food and bills, and
• fear of harming their immigration status.
See Appendix 4: Stories from CARES applicants, for more detail.
As of January 1, 2024, approximately 11,000 undocumented adults aged 26-49 in Contra Costa
were transitioned from restricted scope to full scope Medi-Cal. The CARES program ended at
this time, as all CARES enrollees became eligible for full-scope Medi-Cal.
However, approximately 54,000 people continue to be uninsured in Contra Costa (See Appendix
1: EHSD Contra Costa Uninsured Estimates) across all income levels. While the Basic Health
Care Program continues to serve people who are low-income and uninsured, it requires that
people be permanent legal residents of Contra Costa County.
Recommendations for Contra Costa County
The research and discussions of the Healthcare Options Workgroup to improve access to high
quality and affordable health care and promote equity resulted in a recommendation to:
1) expand the Basic Health Care Program by eliminating the “legal permanent
residency” requirement (see Appendix 5: Contra Costa Regional Medical Center
and Health Centers Program Eligibility and Review Process for more information
about the Basic Health Care Program), and
2) expand primary care access for people between 138% to 300% of FPL.
Recommendations for program eligibility, covered services, and network are as follows:
1. Recommended Eligibility: For Contra Costa County residents:

a. With incomes between 138% and 300% FPL 5 Very low-income residents have
limited resources to pay for unsubsidized health care. The annual salary for a
household of one at 300% of the FPL
is $45,180. For a family size of one,
this is considered “very low income,”
approximately 50% of median family
income, and significantly below what
is considered a “living wage.”6 (See
Appendix 5, Income and Poverty
Information, for more income
information by household size and
FPL level.) In surveys conducted by
#OCCC partner organizations, Contra
Costa residents identified cost as a major barrier to accessing healthcare with
some residents expressing that they don’t go to the doctor because of the expense
– needing resources to cover necessities.
The proposed income range is for people who all fall below the living wage in
Contra Costa County. The living wage estimate shows how much a household
must have to support themselves and includes factors such as food, childcare,
housing, etc.7 See Appendix 6 for a chart of Living Wage in Contra Costa by
family size. The chart below shows income levels for a household size of one.

2. Recommended Covered Services: Comprehensive (including primary care, specialty
medical care, emergency, and inpatient services). A comprehensive program provides
better service to people accessing the program and is more similar to the scope of
services offered through Medi-Cal or Covered California (since it is not insurance, the

Sandra, one of the CARES pre-
enrollment applicants shared, “I
would like to acquire these services
because sometimes I don’t feel good
and would like to go to the doctor, but
it can be very expensive and therefore

I might need that money for something

program will differ than insurance programs, as it will have a more limited network and
be restricted to services provided by that network). If specialty medical services are not
offered, then primary care providers may refer people directly to emergency care, which
may not be appropriate and could be more costly overall. This comprehensive coverage
program would be different from the CARES program, which only provided primary
care.
3. Recommended Network: Community clinics, Contra Costa County Health Center
Clinics, and Contra County Regional Medical Center. The CARES program was
designed for clients to receive primary care at three community clinics. A broader
network that includes the Contra Costa County Ambulatory Clinics and the Contra Costa
Regional Medical Center is needed to provide specialty medical and inpatient services so
that community members can receive services and referrals between healthcare systems
seamlessly without experiencing gaps in care. In addition, patients will have more
options to choose a health home that meets their health needs and conditions.
a. An alternative option would be to limit the network to the Contra Costa County
Health Center and Contra Costa County Regional Medical Center. This option
would not require funding with the Community Clinics for this program;
however, it would also provide less choice, reduced access, and in some
instances impact existing source of care for participants, therefore it is the
workgroup supports a network that includes the Community Clinics.
Cost Estimated for Recommendation
The costs of a comprehensive program are NOT all new costs. Most of the costs are already
being incurred by the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center via uncompensated costs. In FY
2022-23 the medically indigent/patient assistance cost incurred by CCRMC for both documented
and undocumented patients was approximately $47.9M. If the eligibility for the Basic Health
Care Program is expanded, it is anticipated that the County Health Center Clinic primary care
costs and CCRMC specialty, emergency and inpatient costs for new program participants will be
covered with existing hospital medically indigent funding generated by a decrease in the number
of uninsured between 0 and 138% FPL and an expected reduction in emergency room services
for the target population that will now have access to primary care.
The proposed program includes an estimated cost of $750,000 annually for providing primary
care to approximately 1,100 enrollees through the community clinics. These cost projections do
not include the administrative costs of running a program. Administrative costs in other counties
range from $2 million to $7 million, approximately 5% to 10% of program costs; however, the
administrative costs vary considerably based on contracting and payment structure, the
enrollment system, and collection of fees. It is anticipated that in Contra Costa, the majority of
these costs can be provided pro bono.
CCH is currently funding $600,000 for outreach and education: $300,000 to the community
clinics, and $300,000 to community-based organizations.

Next Steps
If the proposed recommendation is approved by the Board of Supervisors, other critical
implementation elements, including administrator, enrollment system, provider payment
structure, enrollment and/or participant fee structure, referral mechanisms and coordination of
care, and outreach and education would be developed by Contra Costa Health including
recommendations on how to leverage existing programs such as the Basic Health Program as
feasible and in collaboration with partners such as Aliados and community clinics. If the Board
of Supervisors decides to move forward with a program, Contra Costa Health recommends:
1) Immediately:
a. Eliminating the residency requirement for Basic Health Care Program, and
b. Community Clinics seek sustainable funding such as Measure X for primary care,
$750,000 annually, with support of the Stakeholder Workgroup including CCH.
2) Phase in: CCH will engage Community Clinics, CCRMC, and Health Plan partners to
develop enrollment system, participant fee structure and referral mechanism from the
community clinics to the CCRMC network, and
3) On-going: CCH will continue to track and evaluate enrollment, program costs and
funding needs as the program is established.
8 The estimated number of undocumented Contra Costa County residents who fall between 138 and 200% FPL is
2,100 and the estimated number of undocumented Contra Costa County residents who fall between 138 and 250%
FPL is 7,200.
9 The total enrollment estimate assumes that a maximum of 50% of those who are eligible would enroll in the
program.
10 The initial enrollment estimates are for the first year of the program is provided for budgeting purposes. As the
program grows an assessment will be done on whether additional resources are needed and available.
11 An estimated 1,100 enrollees would be seen at the community clinics, the balance of the enrollees would receive
primary care though the county clinics dependent on if funding is identified and program enrollment.
12 The estimated cost for primary care at the community clinics is $56 per member per month. The comprehensive
services at CCRMC and county clinics can be covered with the existing hospital funding dedicated towards indigent
care.

Appendix 1: EHSD Contra Costa County Uninsured Estimates
Health Insurance Analysis for Health Care Options Discussion
Up to 18,000 Uninsured individuals in Contra Costa County are estimated to be in income brackets between 139% and 299% FPL.
Of those, as many as 2,700 are in the FPL bracket just above Medi-Cal eligibility (139-149% FPL).
Purpose: As of January 1, 2024, individuals in California who meet income requirements (up to 138% Federal Poverty Level/FPL) are eligible for full scope Medi-Cal,
regardless of immigration status. The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors has requested an overview of the population in income categories above 138% FPL, in
order to gain an understanding of the number of individuals who may remain uninsured after the January 2024 Medi-Cal Expansion. Contra Costa Health Services
(CCHS) asked the Policy and Planning division of the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) to assist with the data request, with a particular emphasis
on those in the lower income ranges above Medi-Cal eligibility: > 138% FPL.

Estimated Population of Uninsured, Undocumented, Ineligible for Medi-Cal (Individuals)
Covered California Rating Region: Greater Bay Area
Purpose: As of January 1, 2024, individuals in California who meet income requirements (up to 138% Federal Poverty Level/FPL) are eligible for full scope Medi-Cal, regardless of
immigration status. The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors has requested an overview of the population in income categories above 138% FPL, in order to gain an understanding of
the number of individuals who may remain uninsured after the January 2024 Medi-Cal Expansion.
In March 2023, the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research and UC Berkeley Labor Center estimated that 520,000 people statewide will remain “uninsured, undocumented, ineligible for
Medi-Cal and without an offer of affordable job-based coverage” in 2024. Of these, an estimated 80,000 reside in the Greater Bay Area. The chart below shows an estimate of this group
for each Bay Area county, assuming proportions similar to percentage of the population. By this estimate, approximately 12,000 Contra Costa individuals would remain “uninsured,
undocumented, ineligible and without an offer of affordable job-based coverage in 2024.” An estimate of Income and Age brackets from the UCLA/UC Berkeley report is also shown below.

Program Eligibility Review Process
CCRMC and HCs has developed an application and eligibility review process that screens all applicants for
eligibility in public health coverage programs including Medi-Cal and Family PACT. Applicants who are
determined to be ineligible for public health coverage programs are automatically screened for eligibility
in the following programs available through Contra Costa Health Services: Basic Health Care, the Sliding
Fee Scale Program, the Charity Care Program, and the Discount Payment Program.
This review process is designed so that one application form can be used to determine eligibility for
applicable program coverage. Program eligibility is based on a combination of family size, income, assets,
and residency requirements. The eligibility requirements of the various programs are summarized in the
table below.

ASSEMBLY BILL No. 2882
Introduced by Assembly Member McCarty
February 15, 2024
An act to amend Sections 1230, 1230.1, and 6027 of, and to add
Section 1230.2 to, the Penal Code, relating to criminal procedure.
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 2882, as introduced, McCarty. California Community Corrections
Performance Incentives.
Existing law authorizes each county to establish a Community
Corrections Performance Incentives Fund to receive moneys for the
implementation of a community corrections program to provide
supervision and rehabilitative services for adult felony offenders subject
to local supervision. Existing law requires the program to be developed
and implemented by probation and advised by a local Community
Corrections Partnership. Existing law requires the partnership to be
comprised of specified members, including, among others, a
representative from a community-based organization with experience
in successfully providing rehabilitative services to persons who have
been convicted of a criminal offense.
This bill would add a representative of a community-based
organization with experience in successfully providing behavioral health
treatment services to persons who have been convicted of a criminal
offense, and a representative of a Medi-Cal managed care plan that
provides the Enhanced Care Management benefit, to the membership
of the partnership.
Existing law requires each county local Community Corrections
Partnership to recommend a local plan to the county board of

supervisors, and requires the board to accept or reject the plan. Existing
law requires the plan to be voted on by an executive committee of each
county’s partnership consisting of, among others, one department
representative from the head of the county department of social services,
the head of the county department of mental health, or the head of the
county alcohol and substance abuse programs.
This bill would instead require the committee to consist of all 3 of
the departments mentioned above and would require the department
head to have the number of votes equivalent to the number of
departments they represent. The bill would require the plan to, among
other things, include quantifiable goals for improving the community
corrections system, as specified. The bill would require the local
partnership to submit the accepted plan annually to the Board of State
and Community Corrections.
This bill would require each county to submit the County Community
Corrections Outcomes, Accountability, and Transparency report annually
to the Board of State and Community Corrections that includes, among
other things, the number of people who have a serious mental illness
or substance use disorder who are connected to community-based
treatment and support upon release from jail or completion of
community supervision. The bill would require each county’s board of
supervisors to verify that the report is complete and accurate before it
is submitted to the board. Because this bill would expand the duties for
certain local officials, it would impose a state-mandated local program.
Existing law requires the Board of State and Community Corrections
to collect and maintain available information and data about state and
community correctional policies, practices, capacities, and needs,
including, but not limited to, prevention, intervention, suppression,
supervision, and incapacitation, as they relate to both adult corrections,
juvenile justice, and gang problems. Existing law requires the board to
collect and analyze available data regarding the implementation of the
local plans and other outcome-based measures.
This bill would require the board to create the Community Corrections
Outcomes, Accountability, and Transparency dashboard that displays
the county’s goals mentioned above and the spending and outcomes
data reported in the County Community Corrections Outcomes,
Accountability, and Transparency report. The bill would require the
dashboard to be accessible through the board’s internet website.

RE: AB 2882 (McCarty) - California Community Corrections Performance Incentives.
As introduced 2/15/2024 – OPPOSE
Set for hearing 4/2/2024 – Assembly Public Safety Committee
Dear Assembly Member McCarty:
On behalf of the California State Association of Counties (CSAC), the Urban Counties of
California (UCC), and the Rural County Representatives of California (RCRC), we write to
jointly express our respectful opposition to AB 2882. This measure would amend the
composition of the local Community Corrections Partnership (CCP) and the CCP
Executive Committee; specify new plan development and processing requirements at
the local level; and add considerable new CCP data collection and reporting
requirements.
The objective of AB 2882 appears to seek reprioritization of an existing community
corrections revenue stream to address the behavioral health treatment needs of justice-
involved individuals. However, we are concerned that the measure focuses on the
oversight and planning associated with a single subaccount in isolation, without
considering (1) that the justice-involved population realigned to counties pursuant to
AB 109 in 2011 has many needs, including but not limited to behavioral health
treatment needs, (2) other revenue sources brought to bear in supporting the
populations in counties’ care, and (3) other important policy changes that took place
concurrent to 2011 Realignment, as well as more recent initiatives that fundamentally
revise behavioral health funding and service delivery at the local level.
Our associations agree that the state and counties together must continue exploration
of how best to improve behavioral health care for those in our communities, including
justice-involved individuals. However, we have a number of specific concerns related to
the approach contemplated in AB 2882.
Attachment C
138
AB 2882 (McCarty) – CSAC, UCC, and RCRC Opposition March 27, 2024 | Page 2
• This measure inappropriately presumes that the Community Corrections Subaccount
is the main fund source for the care and treatment of the county justice-involved
population and that system-involved individuals have no other service needs beyond
behavioral health treatment. While behavioral health treatment is a priority at the
local level, by bringing this new data collection and reporting responsibility under
the purview of the CCP, the changes contemplated in AB 2882 to the CCP structure
appear to be based on the inaccurate assumption that the Community Corrections
Subaccount is the main fund source to support the treatment needs of justice-
involved individuals. If the intent of this measure is to develop a comprehensive
picture of local behavioral health investments, the study would need to include the
impact of the Affordable Care Act expansion on the justice-involved population,
other behavioral health-related programs and funding in 2011 Realignment, other
jail medical and mental health budget investments, local behavioral health funding
gaps, the potential impacts of the justice-involved initiative of CalAIM, as well as the
Behavioral Health Services Act enacted in Proposition 1 (2024). The isolated focus on
the Community Corrections Subaccount inappropriately excludes a vast array of
other local investments as well as complex and varied funding and policy
developments that have come to pass since 2011. Furthermore, robust behavioral
health treatment planning and collaboration, including public safety stakeholder
engagement, is already included in the integrated plans specified in Proposition 1.
• Proposed changes to the CCP and CCP Executive Committee 1 do not align with
assigned functions and could result in unintended consequences. There are distinct
differences between the role and responsibilities of the CCP and its Executive
Committee. AB 2882 appears to conflate the two bodies and their responsibilities.
The full CCP has primary authority over the Community Corrections Performance
Incentive Act (SB 678) implementation – an incentive-based program that shares
state correctional savings with county probation departments associated with
reductions in prison admissions from local felony supervision. The expertise of the
proposed new CCP members does not appear to align with the original and primary
responsibility of the CCP. Secondly, the expansion of the CCP Executive Committee
appears to rebalance the composition away from a multi-agency public safety
collaboration focused on community corrections to one that prioritizes behavioral
health considerations. While these funds are often used to fund behavioral health
treatment for justice-involved individuals, the composition and balance of the CCP
Executive Committee was designed with the primary focus of 2011 Realignment in
mind – public safety, a responsibility that resides primarily at the local government
1 The CCP was created pursuant to the enactment of SB 678 (Ch. 608, Statutes of 2009), while the creation of the CCP
Executive Committee was a feature added by AB 109 (Ch. 15, Statutes of 2011), as subsequently amended in AB 117
(Ch. 39, Statute of 2011), to develop a local community corrections plan.

level. Behavioral health services are a critically important component of addressing
the needs of the justice-involved population, but only one aspect. Finally, it also is
important to note that county behavioral health treatment planning occurs through
other structured processes with local collaboration and with ultimate expenditure
authority resting with the county Board of Supervisors.
• Higher levels of service associated with CCP responsibilities – including new plan
requirements and reporting responsibilities – must be accompanied by an
appropriation. Provisions in Proposition 30 (2012)2 require the state to provide a new
appropriation to support new and higher levels of service associated with programs
and responsibilities realigned in 2011. Even though we believe that the proposed
new plan elements as well as additional data collection and reporting requirements
are unnecessary and inappropriate, if they were enacted, additional state funding
would be required both for the specific plan elements amended into Penal Code
section 1230.1 as well as data collection and reporting responsibilities in new Penal
Code section 1230.2 before counties would be obligated to carry out these new
functions.
For these reasons, CSAC, UCC, and RCRC must respectfully oppose this measure. We
welcome an opportunity to more fully discuss the specific aspects of our position
outlined above. Please feel free to contact Ryan Morimune at CSAC
(rmorimune@counties.org), Elizabeth Espinosa at UCC (ehe@hbeadvocacy.com), or

Subject: AB 2882 – CPOC Oppose
Dear Assembly Member McCarty,
On behalf of the Chief Probation Officers of California (CPOC), we respectfully
oppose AB 2882. The approach in the bill redirects vital public safety planning in
response to new duties and populations shifted to the counties pursuant to Public
Safety Realignment. We are concerned the bill upends the existing purpose and
mission which is still a critical component to the public safety response in our
communities due to the historic shift of population from state control to local
control. The current framework breaks down silos and fosters collaboration to
inform the important local planning framework that was developed as a direct
response to the State transferring responsibility of a significant new public safety
population to counties.
In 2011, Governor Brown signed AB 109 (Chapter 15, Statutes of 2011), which
reflected a landmark shift in the State’s approach to criminal justice through the
transfer of criminal justice service delivery and responsibility to counties. This was
done against the backdrop of a ruling by the US Supreme Court for the State to
immediately drive down their population. The State, in a historic collaboration with
the counties, had to develop a mechanism to avoid mass releases without regard
to public safety. The result of that collaboration was a process that enabled local
governments to plan for this shift in responsibility. Associated with this realigned
responsibility was the investment of funding to counties to carry out the transfer
of populations and duties. Shifting the responsibilities for the justice population
that was previously handled by the state to local counties required not only a
funding shift, but protections that would enable counties to support the necessary
investments to minimize the public safety impact.

141
Any roll back or impediments that threatens county operations under the guise of redirecting focus
and/or resources away from the entities tasked with the responsibility of providing public safety is
misguided, ill-advised and exacerbates public safety concerns.
Public safety realignment, by its very framework, was designed with the goal of supporting each county
to develop responses to the new duties, specifically the impacted jail and probation populations. While
it is true that the populations being shifted have behavioral health needs, it is inaccurate to assume
that is the only need of our populations or that Realignment was done to singularly address the delivery
of behavioral health treatment. The population in which the Community Corrections Partnership
(CCP’s) develop plans to support, require a multi-dimensional approach to meet a plethora of needs
including jobs, housing, and education while also addressing criminogenic factors, safety risks, and
court orders to balance accountability and rehabilitation. All these factors, in addition to behavioral
health, impact our ability to supervise these populations safely and successfully.
Finally, it is inaccurate to assume that behavioral health needs are not already taken into account in
CCP planning and resources and it is important to remember that funding for behavioral health needs
of the justice population is not singularly contained within CCP funding. In fact, the state made changes
to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) at the time and there are many other funding sources since, that have
been identified for this population’s behavioral health and substance use disorder needs. The very
purpose of probation is to align all of the needs, not elevate one over another in order to take on the
job that was previously handled by the state. The CCP plays a critical role in coordinating local responses
to address these many factors that not only serve the Realigned population but do so with the equally
important outcome of public safety. The expertise of probation as re-entry experts supports the
balance of our public safety mission through individualized responses and services for our
populations. Placing other initiatives into this process as contemplated in this bill, will by definition
redirect attention from the original purpose of the CCP while ignoring all the other planning and
funding sources intended specifically for behavioral health treatment.
Setting forth a new purpose of CCPs is not integration, it is redirection. Counties, specifically jails and
probation, were given new populations to serve with the CCP being the corresponding mechanism to
plan for these individuals through collaborative and locally responsive approaches. CCP’s bridge across
disciplines to plan for the successful and safe handling of these responsibilities and advise the Board of
Supervisors. Repurposing this important planning process will have the impact of subordinating public
safety to only one of the many needs of the realigned population.
For these reasons, we are opposed to AB 2882.

Danielle Sanchez

Introduced by Senator Seyarto
January 23, 2024
An act to add Section 1326 to the Code of Civil Procedure, and to
amend Sections 4675 4674, 4675, and 4676 of, and to add Section 3777
to, the Revenue and Taxation Code, relating to taxation.
legislative counsel’s digest
SB 964, as amended, Seyarto. Property tax: tax-defaulted property
sales.
Existing law governs the sale to certain entities of a property that has
been tax defaulted for 5 years or more, or 3 years or more, as applicable,
in an applicable county, including by authorizing the state, county, any
revenue district the taxes of which on the property are collected by
county officers, or a redevelopment agency created pursuant to the
California Community Redevelopment Law, to purchase the property
or any part thereof, as prescribed. Existing law also authorizes a
nonprofit organization to purchase, with the approval of the board of
supervisors of the county in which it is located, a residential or vacant
property that has been tax-defaulted for 5 years or more, or 3 years or
more if the property is subject to a nuisance abatement lien, as
prescribed. Existing law requires the sales price of a property sold
pursuant to the provisions described or referenced above to include
certain amounts, including all defaulted taxes and assessments and all
associated penalties and costs.
This bill would prohibit a property or property interest from being
offered for sale under the provisions described above if that property
98
Attachment A
143
or property interest has not been offered for sale under the provisions
described below. below, unless certain conditions are satisfied.
Existing law generally authorizes a county tax collector to sell to any
person tax-defaulted property 5 years or more, or 3 years or more, as
applicable, after that property has become tax defaulted. Existing law
authorizes a party of interest in the property to file with the county a
claim for the excess proceeds, in proportion to that person’s interest
held with others of equal priority in the property at the time of sale, at
any time before the expiration of one year following the recordation of
the tax collector’s deed to the purchaser and provides for the distribution
of those excess proceeds. Existing law requires, if excess proceeds from
the sale of tax-defaulted property exceed $150, the county to provide
notice of the right to claim the excess proceeds, as prescribed.
This bill would increase the claims period described above to 2 years
if the county does not receive any claims before the expiration of one
year following the recordation of the tax collector’s deed to the
purchaser and would make conforming changes. require a county to
review a claim filed pursuant to the provisions described above and
determine whether the claim is complete and valid, and would prescribe
a procedure for curing any deficiency in the claim. The bill would also
require the notice described above to include certain information,
including the consequences for failing to apply for excess proceeds
within the claims period. By requiring a county to administer the claims
period for a longer time period and to include additional information
in the required notice of the right to claim excess proceeds, undertake
new duties with respect to the claims process, the bill would impose a
state-mandated local program.
Existing law authorizes certain excess proceeds from sales of property
pursuant to the provisions described above to be transferred to the
county general fund, as specified. Existing law generally governs and
regulates the receipt, custody, investment, management, disposal, and
escheat of various classes of unclaimed property to the possession of
which the state is, or may become, entitled under the provisions of
certain law. Existing law creates the Unclaimed Property Fund and
requires all money, except permanently escheated money, paid to the
state or any officer or employee thereof for deposit in the State Treasury
under those provisions to be deposited in the fund on order of the
Controller. Existing law provides that moneys in that fund are
continuously appropriated to the Controller for specified purposes.

— 2 — SB 964 Attachment A

This bill would instead require those excess proceeds from sales of
property pursuant to the provisions described above to be transferred
to the Controller for deposit in the Defaulted Tax Sale Subaccount,
which this bill would establish in the fund to consist of moneys received
by the Controller pursuant to the bill’s provisions. The bill would
provide that those moneys are available upon appropriation for specified
purposes. By requiring a county to undertake new duties with respect
to these moneys, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory
provisions noted above.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.

The Honorable Kelly Seyarto
California State Senate District 32
1021 O Street, Suite 7120
Sacramento, CA 95814
RE: SB 964 (Seyarto) Property tax: tax-defaulted property sales – Oppose Unless Amended
As Amended March 5, 2024
Dear Senator Seyarto,
On behalf of the California Association of County Treasurers and Tax Collectors (CACTTC), I write in respectful
opposition to your SB 964, unless amended, to address the concerns outlined below.
Amendment 1: Amend the measure to allow a Tax Collector to request the Board of Supervisors to approve a
resolution which authorizes the Tax Collector to take specified properties to a Chapter 8 sale without first
conducting a Chapter 7 sale based on circumstances articulated by the Tax Collector that necessitate a
Chapter 8 sale for that particular property. Delete the conditions of such a sale that were added in the March
5 amendments included in 3777 (a).
Given the expensive process and intensive staff time required to conduct a tax sale, the discretion of the tax
collector to be able to make pragmatic decisions regarding how to dispose of challenging property is vital to the
efficiency of the office. To unnecessarily mandate an expensive and time-consuming process to go through
procedures that will not produce a sensical outcome is a waste of taxpayer dollars and will lead to higher costs
and government inefficiency; two things taxpayers expect the tax collector to not do. Furthermore, there are
scenarios wherein the worst possible outcome could be that a property was sold at a Chapter 7 sale. A
contemporary example is that an entire city street became tax-defaulted, and subject to sale. If the Tax
Collector in that county offered the street for sale in a Chapter 7, and the bid was accepted and sale executed, it
could have catastrophic impacts on the residents, businesses and public services that relied on access to that
street. Chapter 8 sales are critical to disposing of unique and challenging properties that, for myriad reasons,
should not be offered in a Chapter 7 sale. Attempting to narrowly proscribe those conditions in the statute
would inevitably lead to negative outcomes for taxpayers and residents, if a tax collector is narrowly confined to
only certain specific conditions under which to use Chapter 8.
Further, tax collectors definitionally do not assess properties to determine their value. County assessors are
responsible for that act. Tax Collectors are charged with fairly implementing and collecting property-related
taxes based on the assessed value, after the auditor has applied all property-related charged based on the tax
rate area. Property value and value determination are not the purview of tax collectors. Inserting language
that unilaterally requires Tax Collectors to determine a fair market value as part of the tax sale preparation,
which the rest of the additions in 3777(a) is predicated on, is a gross expansion of the role of the Tax Collector.
Tax collectors are responsible for collecting the property-based taxes and any penalties and interest associated
Attachment B

with defaulted taxes. In some cases, the amount owed in defaulted taxes, penalties and interest could be more
than the underlying value of the property. Discretion of the tax collector to make sensical decisions that are in
the best interests of taxpayers and the general public is critical to the efficiency of the office.
Amendment 3: Remove the language establishing a fund and at the State Treasury for unclaimed excess
proceeds, as well as the language mandating that unclaimed funds be transferred to the Controller instead of
the County general fund.
After years of outreach through certified mailings, skip trace searches, newspaper publications and in-person
visits to the property to notify the owner that the property is subject to tax sale, coupled with an additional year
for parties of interest to file a claim for those excess proceeds, tax collectors have exhausted the ability to
connect those proceeds with any parties of interest. Sending these unclaimed proceeds to the Controller’s will
create new state costs to manage the funds, perpetually.
Amendment 3: Remove the language requiring that tax collectors provide claimants 6o days to perfect their
claims, with the assistance of the Tax Collector’s office.
Tax collectors should not be mandated to provide free, private legal counseling to asset locators and others. It is
an inappropriate use of public resources that the general taxpayer should not be asked to provide. There are
simple clear requirements regarding how to file a claim for excess proceeds in each County. The process
Counties must follow in administering the process for claims is contained in the State Controller’s Office. Those
procedures can be reviewed here starting on page 50: https://www.sco.ca.gov/Files-ARD-Tax-Info/Tax-Collector-
Ref-Man/ctspm_v1_2016.pdf
CACTTC’s elected and appointed members view themselves as taxpayer advocates and are sensitive to the fact
that property may be the most significant asset a taxpayer owns. Tax sales are not taken lightly, require
extensive research and outreach, and are only conducted after years of non-payment, with bi-annual outreach
to the property owner during the years of non-payment.
In the absence of these amendments, CACTTC will remain in respectful but firm opposition to your measure.
Sincerely,
Karen Lange

AMENDED IN ASSEMBLY MARCH 11, 2024
california legislature—2023–24 regular session
ASSEMBLY BILL No. 2561
Introduced by Assembly Member McKinnor
February 14, 2024
An act to amend Section 11546 of add Section 3502.3 to the
Government Code, relating to state government administration. public
employment.
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 2561, as amended, McKinnor. Department of Technology. Local
public employees: vacant positions.
Existing law, the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (act), authorizes local
public employees, as defined, to form, join, and participate in the
activities of employee organizations of their own choosing for the
purpose of representation on matters of labor relations. The act
prohibits a public agency from, among other things, imposing or
threatening to impose reprisals on employees, discriminating or
threatening to discriminate against employees, or otherwise interfering
with specified employee rights guaranteed by the act.
This bill would require each public agency with bargaining unit
vacancy rates exceeding 10% for more than 90 days within the past
180 days to meet and confer with a representative of the recognized
employee organization to produce, publish, and implement a plan
consisting of specified components to fill all vacant positions within
the subsequent 180 days. The bill would require the public agency to
present this plan during a public hearing to the governing legislative
body and to publish the plan on its internet website for public review
for at least one year. By imposing new duties on local public agencies,
98
Attachment A
154
the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would
also include findings that changes proposed by this bill address a matter
of statewide concern.
The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose
of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the
writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory
enactment that amends or enacts laws relating to public records or
open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment
furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose.
This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement shall be made pursuant
to these statutory provisions for costs mandated by the state pursuant
to this act, but would recognize that a local agency or school district
may pursue any available remedies to seek reimbursement for these
costs.
Existing law requires the Department of Technology to be responsible
for the approval and oversight of information technology projects,
including by consulting with agencies during initial project planning
to ensure that project proposals are based on well-defined programmatic
needs, clearly identifying programmatic benefits, and considering
feasible alternatives to address the identified needs and benefits
consistent with statewide strategies, policies, and procedures.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no yes.
State-mandated local program: no yes.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
line 1 SECTION 1. Section 3502.3 is added to the Government Code,
line 2 to read:
line 3 3502.3. (a) Each public agency with bargaining unit vacancy
line 4 rates exceeding 10 percent for more than 90 days within the past
line 5 180 days shall promptly meet and confer with the representative
line 6 of the recognized employee organization, as defined in subdivision
line 7 (a) of Section 3501, to produce, publish, and implement a plan to
line 8 fill all vacant positions within the subsequent 180 days.

line 22 (h) There is a statewide interest in ensuring that public agency
line 23 operations are appropriately staffed and that high vacancy rates

line 25 finds and declares that this section constitutes a matter of statewide
line 26 concern and shall apply to charter cities and counties. The
line 27 provisions of this section shall supersede any inconsistent
line 28 provisions in the charter of any city or county.

ASSEMBLY BILL No. 1999
Introduced by Assembly Members Irwin, Addis, Berman, Connolly,
Muratsuchi, Papan, Pellerin, Quirk-Silva, Ting, Ward, and
Weber
(Principal coauthor: Assembly Member Bauer-Kahan)
(Principal coauthor: Senator Wiener)
(Coauthors: Assembly Members Boerner, Bonta, Friedman, Lee,
Low, and Maienschein)
(Coauthor: Senator Blakespear)
January 30, 2024
An act to amend Section 739.9 of the Public Utilities Code, relating
to electricity.
legislative counsel’s digest
AB 1999, as introduced, Irwin. Electricity: fixed charges.
Existing law vests the Public Utilities Commission with regulatory
authority over public utilities, including electrical corporations. Existing
law authorizes the commission to adopt new, or expand existing, fixed
charges, as defined, for the purpose of collecting a reasonable portion
of the fixed costs of providing electrical service to residential customers.
Under existing law, the commission may authorize fixed charges for
any rate schedule applicable to a residential customer account. Existing
law requires the commission, no later than July 1, 2024, to authorize a
fixed charge for default residential rates. Existing law requires these
fixed charges to be established on an income-graduated basis, with no
fewer than 3 income thresholds, so that low-income ratepayers in each
baseline territory would realize a lower average monthly bill without
making any changes in usage.
Corrected 1-31-24—See last page.99
Attachment D
160
This bill would repeal the provisions described in the preceding
paragraph. The bill would instead permit the commission to authorize
fixed charges that, as of January 1, 2015, do not exceed $5 per residential
customer account per month for low-income customers enrolled in the
California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) program and that do not
exceed $10 per residential customer account per month for customers
not enrolled in the CARE program. The bill would authorize these
maximum allowable fixed charges to be adjusted by no more than the
annual percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for the prior
calendar year, beginning January 1, 2016.
Under existing law, a violation of the Public Utilities Act or any order,
decision, rule, direction, demand, or requirement of the commission is
a crime.
Because certain provisions of this bill would be a part of the act and
therefore a violation of the bill’s requirements or of a commission action
implementing its requirements would be a crime, the bill would impose
a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state.
Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act
for a specified reason.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
line 1 SECTION 1. Section 739.9 of the Public Utilities Code is
line 2 amended to read:
line 3 739.9. (a) “Fixed charge” means any fixed customer charge,
line 4 basic service fee, demand differentiated basic service fee, demand
line 5 charge, or other charge not based on the volume of electricity
line 6 consumed.
line 7 (b) Increases to electrical rates and charges in rate design
line 8 proceedings, including any reduction in the California Alternate
line 9 Rates for Energy (CARE) program discount, shall be reasonable
line 10 and subject to a reasonable phase-in schedule relative to the rates
line 11 and charges in effect before January 1, 2014.
99
— 2 — AB 1999 Attachment D
161
line 1 (c) Consistent with the requirements of Section 739, the
line 2 commission may modify the seasonal definitions and applicable
line 3 percentage of average consumption for one or more climatic zones.
line 4 (d) The commission may adopt new, or expand existing, fixed
line 5 charges for the purpose of collecting a reasonable portion of the
line 6 fixed costs of providing electrical service to residential customers.
line 7 The commission shall ensure that any approved charges do all of
line 8 the following:
line 9 (1) Reasonably reflect an appropriate portion of the different
line 10 costs of serving small and large customers.
line 11 (2) Not unreasonably impair incentives for conservation, energy
line 12 efficiency, and beneficial electrification and greenhouse gas
line 13 emissions reduction.
line 14 (3) Are set at levels that do not overburden low-income
line 15 customers.
line 16 (e) (1) For the purposes of this section and Section 739.1, the
line 17 commission may authorize fixed charges for any rate schedule
line 18 applicable to a residential customer account. The fixed charge shall
line 19 be established on an income-graduated basis with no fewer than
line 20 three income thresholds so that a low-income ratepayer in each
line 21 baseline territory would realize a lower average monthly bill
line 22 without making any changes in usage. The commission shall, no
line 23 later than July 1, 2024, authorize a fixed charge for default
line 24 residential rates.
line 25 (2) For purposes of this subdivision, “income-graduated” means
line 26 that low-income customers pay a smaller fixed charge than
line 27 high-income customers.
line 28 (e) For purposes of this section and Section 739.1, the
line 29 commission may, beginning January 1, 2015, authorize fixed
line 30 charges that do not exceed ten dollars ($10) per residential
line 31 customer account per month for customers not enrolled in the
line 32 CARE program and five dollars ($5) per residential customer
line 33 account per month for customers enrolled in the CARE program.
line 34 Beginning January 1, 2016, the maximum allowable fixed charge
line 35 may be adjusted by no more than the annual percentage increase
line 36 in the Consumer Price Index for the prior calendar year. This
line 37 subdivision applies to any default rate schedule, at least one
line 38 optional tiered rate schedule, and at least one optional time-variant
line 39 rate schedule.
99
AB 1999 — 3 — Attachment D
162
line 1 (f) Notwithstanding the requirements of subdivision (d) of
line 2 Section 739 and Section 739.7, the commission shall not apply
line 3 the composite tier method to the treatment of any revenues resulting
line 4 from any fixed charge adopted pursuant to this section.
line 5 SEC. 2. No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
line 6 Section 6 of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution because
line 7 the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school
line 8 district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or
line 9 infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty
line 10 for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of
line 11 the Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within
line 12 the meaning of Section 6 of Article XIIIB of the California
line 13 Constitution.

Contra Costa County Fire Protection District & UCOA Side Letter Page 1 of 3
SIDE LETTER AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
AND
UNITED CHIEF OFFICERS ASSOCIATION
This Side Letter is by and between United Chief Officers Association (“UCOA”) and the
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (“District”) (hereinafter collectively “the
Parties.”) This side letter is effective the first of the month following approval of the
Board of Supervisors.
This side letter amends the Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between the
District and UCOA (July 1, 2023- June 30, 2027) to clarify that the District shall
determine and calculate vacation and sick leave accrual balances for employees
moving to/from 40-hour to 56-hour positions or assignments, and removes the monthly
minimum amount of standby and emergency recall duty.
The MOU shall be amended as follows:
SECTION 10 - VACATION LEAVE
10.4 Accrual Conversions. For employees moving between 40-hour and 56-hour
positions or assignments, accrual balances and monthly accrual rates will be converted
to match the commensurate rates and proportion of accruals to the new maximum in the
new bank at the time that the assignment is made. Any accruals utilized or earned will be
calculated at the rate in effect when utilized or earned and then will be added or subtracted
from the balance at the time the accruals are utilized or earned.
For example, a 56-hour employee with six years of service and an accumulated total of
288 hours of vacation leave out of a maximum limitation of 384 hours who utilizes 24
hours of accruals prior to reassignment to a 40-hour position, will have 24 hours
subtracted from the balance of 288 hours. Upon reassignment to a 40-hour position, the
remaining balance of 264 hours will then be converted utilizing the appropriate ratio, in
this case 0.625, resulting in a balance of 165 hours. Any accruals earned or utilized after
the reassignment to the 40-hour position shall be calculated at the 40-hour rate.
The conversion ratio is the monthly accrual rate of the new schedule divided by the
monthly accrual rate of the old schedule. Conversion ratios and accrual balances shall be
calculated by the District in accordance with the above methodology and shall be provided
by the District to the Auditor-Controller’s Office for review.
Remaining subsections in Section 10 will be renumbered accordingly.
SECTION 11 – SICK LEAVE
11.2 Credit Accrued and Charges Against Sick Leave. Sick leave credits accrue at
the following rates:
DocuSign Envelope ID: E87891A6-8005-4550-8A26-A6668D59C9AA
271337
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District & UCOA Side Letter Page 2 of 3
1. Shift Personnel Accruals (56-hour week). Sick leave shall be accrued at
the rate of fifteen (15) hours for each completed month of service.
2. Day Personnel Accruals (40-hour week). Sick leave shall be accrued at the
rate of eight (8) hours for each completed month of service.
3. General Terms
a. Unused sick leave credits accumulate without limit.
b. Credits to and charges against sick leave shall be made in minimum
amounts of one (1) minute increments and may not be rounded.
c. For employees moving between 40-hour and 56-hour positions or
assignments, accrual balances will be converted to match the same
rates and proportion of accruals in the new bank at the time that the
assignment is made. Any accruals utilized or earned will be
calculated at the rate in effect when utilized or earned and then will
be added or subtracted from the balance at the time the accruals are
utilized or earned.
For example, a 56-hour employee with a sick leave balance of 233
hours who utilizes 24 hours of sick leave prior to reassignment to a
40-hour position shall have the 24 hours subtracted from the 233
hour balance. The remaining 209 hours will then be converted
utilizing the appropriate ratios determined by the District to the 40-
hour balance, in this case the ratio being 0.5333 and the resulting
balance is 111.47. Any sick leave earned or utilized after the
reassignment to the 40-hour position shall be calculated at the 40-
hour rate.
The conversion ratio is the monthly accrual rate of the new schedule
divided by the monthly accrual rate of the old schedule. For example,
when converting to a 56-hour schedule at 15 hours of sick leave per
month from a 40-hour schedule at 8 hours of sick leave per month,
the conversion ratio is 15/8 or 1.875. Conversion ratios and accrual
balances shall be calculated by the District in accordance with the
above methodology and shall be provided by the District to the
Auditor-Controller’s Office for review.
cd. When an employee is separated other than through retirement,
accumulated sick leave credits shall be canceled, unless the
separation results from layoff, in which case the accumulated credits
shall be restored if employee is re-employed in a permanent position
within the period of the individual’s layoff eligibility.

272338
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District & UCOA Side Letter Page 3 of 3
de. As of the date of retirement, an employee’s accumulated sick leave
is converted to retirement time on the basis of one day of retirement
service credit for each day of accumulated sick leave credit
according to the policies and regulations of the Retirement Office.
SECTION 26 – OTHER TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT
26.8 Emergency Recall and Standby. Standby and emergency recall is a
requirement of all classifications covered under this agreement. Administration and
assignment of standby and emergency recall shall be at the District’s discretion.
Employees will be assigned to standby and emergency recall duty for a minimum of
eight (8) days each month for 56-hour personnel, and twelve (12) days each month for
40-hour personnel. Beginning August 1, 2023, the former differential for emergency
recall and standby in the amount of five percent (5.0%) of monthly base salary shall be
rolled into base pay for all classifications represented by the Association. The
Association understands and agrees that employees are compensated for emergency
recall and standby in their base pay and that no additional differentials or special pays
will be provided.
All other subsections of Section 10 – Vacation Leave, Section 11 – Sick Leave, and
Section 26 – Other Terms of Employment remain unchanged by this Side Letter
This Side Letter will remain in effect for the term of the current MOU between the
District and UCOA (July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2027). The terms of the Side Letter will be
incorporated into the successor MOU unless otherwise negotiated by the parties. All
other terms and conditions of the current MOU between the District and UCOA remain
unchanged by this Side Letter.

REAL PROPERTY SERVICES AGREEMENT
1.Effective Date and Parties. Effective on March 1, 2024, the COUNTY OF CONTRA
COSTA, a political subdivision of the State of California ("County"), and the CONTRA
COSTA TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY, a public agency ("hereinafter referred to as
CCTA”), hereby mutually promise and agree as follows:
2.Purpose. CCTA, in coordination with Caltrans, is planning and implementing the
I680/HWY 4 Interchange Project Phases 1, 2A & 4, (the “Project”) with construction
beginning as early as Spring 2025. CCTA has no right of way staff and no ability to
acquire property independently and desires to contract with the County for property
appraisal, acquisition, and relocation services. A separate purpose of this Agreement is
to designate the County as the party to exercise the power of eminent domain for the
project, consistent with the approval given by the State of California, Department of
Transportation (“Caltrans”), and in accordance with Streets and Highways Code section
760 and other applicable laws.
3.Services by County. County will provide CCTA the following services, in connection
with the acquisition of right of way, in the areas depicted in the attached Appendix “A”,
as directed by CCTA and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement: appraisal
review; negotiations; land rights document preparation; right of way acquisition;
relocation; and/or supervision of independent contractors providing such services;
condemnation and related work as required and supported by law (all of which
constitute “Services”).
The County warrants that it will perform these Services in accordance with accepted
professional standards and procedures and applicable law.
CCTA does not have the power of eminent domain. Therefore, the County is hereby
designated as the agency to exercise the power of eminent domain to acquire property
and property interests required for the Project, as planned. Prior to County’s Board of
Supervisors consideration of any resolution of necessity, CCTA shall provide to County
evidence satisfactory to the County that Caltrans has provided all necessary delegations
and approvals authorizing the County to exercise the power of eminent domain in
accordance with Streets and Highways Code section 760, and other applicable laws.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Board of Supervisors of the County
is understood to retain its complete independent discretion for purposes of its
consideration of any resolution of necessity seeking to authorize the filing of an action
to condemn property. Nothing in this agreement, express or implied, compels or
requires the Board of Supervisors to adopt any resolution of necessity. The acquisition
of property and property interests by condemnation is within the meaning of the term
“Services.”
CCTA shall ensure that its right of way agent prepares all appraisals to meet USPAP and
Eminent Domain requirements and that copies of the appraisals are delivered
electronically to the County as soon as practicable for review and approval. The
County shall have independent discretion to determine the amount it believes to be just
compensation for the property to be acquired in accordance with the requirements of
Government Code section 7267.2 before the Government Code section 7267.2 offer is
made on the County’s behalf by CCTA’s agent.

billing by County. Total payments shall not exceed $320,000 unless authorized by
CCTA in writing.
5. Indemnification. County shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless CCTA, its
officers, and employees for any claims, liabilities, damage, injury, or death of or to any
person, or the property of any person, including attorney’s and expert fees (collectively,
“Liabilities”) that arise out of the willful misconduct or the negligent acts, errors, or
omissions of the County, its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers, in performing
any of its or their obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary, County shall not be obligated to indemnify CCTA, its officers and employees
for any portion of Liabilities that arise out of CCTA’s, or its officers’ or employees’ willful
misconduct or negligent acts, errors, or omissions.
CCTA shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless County, its officers, and employees for

employee providing Services hereunder is a CCTA employee.
7. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the effective date hereof and
shall end upon termination by either party upon 30 days written notice. The rights and
obligations of Paragraph 5 "Indemnification" shall survive any such termination. Within

APPENDIX “A”
Pay Rate Schedule
Contra Costa County Transportation Agency (CCTA) shall reimburse the COUNTY for
labor costs as detailed below:
1. COUNTY direct labor rates shall include the base salary wages paid to personnel
plus fringe benefits. Total labor rate shall include direct labor rate multiplied by
County's overhead rate. The total labor rate shall not exceed the range of labor
rates by classification, included as Attachment 1.
2. COUNTY’s overhead rate shall be a summation of division and department overhead
rates. Appropriate overhead rates for COUNTY shall be developed based on
procedure previously approved as described below:
In general, the division overhead rates are determined by identifying each division's
total expenditures after adjustments less any non-labor generated revenue. The
division expenditures are then divided by the productive hours for the division
establishing the overhead rate needed to cover the remaining net cost of division
expenditures. The department overhead rates are determined similar to the division
rate by dividing the total department expenditures by the total billable hours. Each
year overhead rates will be evaluated and adjusted to reflect the actual costs from
the previous fiscal year.
3. COUNTY may adjust both labor rates and overhead rates periodically due to
contracted salary increases and overhead rate changes. COUNTY shall submit any
changes to rates to CCTA prior to invoicing.

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ANNUAL INVESTMENT POLICY FY 2024-2025 Page 5
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
TREASURER’S ANNUAL INVESTMENT POLICY
1.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of this Investment Policy (Policy) is to establish cash management and investment guidelines
of surplus funds entrusted to the care of the Contra Costa County Treasurer’s Office (Treasurer’s Office)
in accordance with applicable sections of California Government Code. All portfolio activities will be
judged by the standards of the Policy and its ranking of investment objectives.
2.0 SCOPE
This Policy applies to all and only funds over which the Treasurer’s Office has been granted fiduciary
responsibility and direct control for their management. The funds covered by this Policy are accounted
for and incorporated in the Contra Costa County Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (ACFR) and
include but not limited to: Government Funds (e.g. general fund, special revenue funds, debt service
funds, capital project funds, and permanent fund), Proprietary Funds (e.g. enterprise funds and internal
service funds), and various Trust Funds.
3.0 PARTICIPANTS
This Policy restricts deposits to those agencies mandated by California Government Code as treasury
deposits. However, subject to the consent of the Treasurer’s Office and in accordance with section 53684,
exemptions may be granted to non-mandatory depositing agencies, if it is determined that the additional
deposit provides a benefit to the investment pool as a whole while not creating unmanageable liquidity
risk.
4.0 IMPLEMENTATION
In order to provide direction to those responsible for management of surplus funds, the County Treasurer
has established this Policy and presented it to the Treasury Oversight Committee and the Board of
Supervisors, and has made it available to the legislative body of local agencies that participates in the
County Treasurer’s investment program.
The Policy explains investable funds; authorized instruments; credit quality required; maximum maturities
and concentrations; collateral requirements; qualifications of brokers/dealers and financial institutions
doing business with, or on behalf of, the County; limits on gifts and honoraria; the reporting requirements;
the Treasury Oversight Committee; the manner of apportioning interest earnings and appropriating
investment costs; and the criteria to request withdrawal of funds.
5.0 OBJECTIVES
Gov’t Code §53600.5: When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging, selling or managing
public funds, the primary objective of a trustee shall be to safeguard the principal of the funds under its
control. The secondary objective shall be to meet the liquidity needs of the depositor. The third objective
shall be to achieve a return on the funds under its control.
5.1 Safety of principal is the foremost objective of the investment program. Investments shall be
undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the overall portfolio.
The objective will be to mitigate credit risk and market risk.
5.1.a Credit Risk
303
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ANNUAL INVESTMENT POLICY FY 2024-2025 Page 6
The Treasurer will minimize credit risk, the risk of loss due to the failure of the security
issuer or backer, by:
1. Limiting investments to the safest type of securities
2. Pre-qualifying the financial institutions, brokers/dealers, intermediaries, and advisers
with which the Treasurer’s Office will do business.
3. Diversifying the investment portfolio so that potential losses on individual securities
will be minimized.
5.1.b Market Risk
The Treasurer’s Office will minimize the risk that the market value of securities in the
portfolio will fall due to changes in general interest rates, by:
1. Structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash
requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities on
the open market prior to maturity.
2. Investing operating funds primarily in shorter-term securities, money market mutual
funds, or similar investment pools.
5.2 Liquidity: The investment portfolio shall remain sufficiently liquid to meet all operating
requirements that may be reasonably anticipated. This is accomplished by structuring the
portfolio so that securities mature concurrent with cash needs to meet anticipated demands.
Furthermore, since all possible cash demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist
largely of securities with active secondary or resale markets. A portion of the portfolio also may
be placed in money market mutual funds or local government investment pools which offer same-
day liquidity for short-term funds.
5.3 Yield: The investment portfolio shall be designed with the objective of attaining a market rate of
return throughout budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the investment risk
constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to
the safety and liquidity objectives described above. The core of investments is limited to relatively
low risk securities in anticipation of earning a fair return relative to the risk being assumed.
Securities may be sold prior to maturity when deemed prudent and necessary. Reasons of selling
include but are not limited to:
1. A security with declining credit may be sold early to minimize loss of principal.
2. A security swap would improve the quality, yield, or target duration in the portfolio.
3. Liquidity needs of the portfolio require that the security be sold.
4. Portfolio rebalancing would bring the portfolio back into compliance.
Investments will be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which
persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs,
not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as
the probable income to be derived.
5.4 Public Trust: All investments will be in conformance with state law and county ordinances and
policies. The investment of public funds is a task that must maintain the public trust.
6.0 GENERAL STRATEGY
6.1 Buy and Hold: The Treasurer will generally use the passive investment strategy known as BUY
AND HOLD whereas securities are purchased with the intent of holding them to maturity. Interest
income and the reinvestment of interest income usually are the only sources of return in the
portfolio.
304
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ANNUAL INVESTMENT POLICY FY 2024-2025 Page 7
The investment program will focus on purchasing securities that will limit or reduce the potential
default risk and ensure the reliability of cash flows from interest income. Generally, purchases
will be laddered throughout the portfolio in order to minimize the number and cost of investment
transactions.
7.0 STANDARD OF CARE
The following policies are designed in accordance with Government Code to provide transparency to the
investment program while enhancing portfolio controls:
7.1 Prudent Investor Standard
The standard of prudence to be used by the designated representative shall be subject to the
“prudent investor” standard and shall be applied in the context of managing the overall portfolio.
“Governing bodies of local agencies or persons authorized to make investment decisions on
behalf of those local agencies investing public funds are trustees and therefore fiduciaries subject
to the prudent investor standard. When investing, reinvesting, purchasing, acquiring, exchanging,
selling or managing public funds, a trustee shall act with care, skill, prudence and diligence under
the circumstances then prevailing, that a prudent person acting in a like capacity and familiarity
with those matters would use in the conduct of funds of a like character and with like aims, to
safeguard the principal and maintain the liquidity needs of the agency. Within the limitations of
this section and considering individual investments as part to an overall strategy, investments may
be acquired as authorized by law.” (Gov’t Code §53600.3.)
For the investment of county funds in a county treasury, Government Code Section 27000.3
establishes the board of supervisors as a fiduciary that is subject to the prudent investor standard
unless it delegates its investment duties to the county treasurer. For local agency funds invested
in the county treasury pool, the county treasurer serves as a fiduciary and is subject to the prudent
investor standard.
7.2 Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
Investment officials shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper
execution and management of the Policy and investment program, or which could impair their
ability to make impartial decisions. Please refer to the Contra Costa County Treasurer-Tax
Collector’s Conflict of Interest Code for further explanation of the prohibited activities, and their
enforcements and exceptions.
7.3 Limits on Honoraria, Gifts, and Gratuities
In accordance with California Government Code Section 27133(d), this Policy establishes limits for
the Director of Finance; individuals responsible for management of the portfolios; and members
of the Investment Group and Review Group who direct individual investment decisions, select
individual investment advisors and brokers/dealers, and conduct day-to-day investment trading
activity. The limits also apply to members of the Oversight Committee. Any individual who
receives an aggregate total of gifts, honoraria and gratuities in excess of $50 in a calendar year
from a broker/dealer, bank or service provider to the Pooled Investment Fund must report the
gifts, dates and firms to the designated filing official and complete the appropriate State forms.
No individual may receive aggregate gifts, honoraria, and gratuities in a calendar year in excess of
the amount specified in Section 18940.2(a) of Title 2, Division 6 of the California Code of
Regulations. This limitation is $590 for the period January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2024. Any
violation must be reported to the State Fair Political Practices Commission.

county treasurer the authority to invest or reinvest the funds of the county and the funds
of other depositors in the county treasury, pursuant to Chapter 4 (commencing with
Section 53600) of Part 1 of Division 2 of Title 5. The county treasurer shall thereafter
assume full responsibility for those transactions until the board of supervisors either
revokes its delegation of authority, by ordinance, or decides not to renew the annual
delegation, as provided in Section 53607 (Gov’t Code §27000.1). For local agency funds
invested in the county treasury pool, the county treasurer serves as a fiduciary and is
subject to the prudent investor standard.
7.4.b Responsibility for the operation of the investment program is hereby delegated to the
County Treasurer, who shall act in accordance with established written procedures and
internal controls for the operation of the investment program consistent with this
investment policy. Procedures include references to the following: safekeeping, delivery
vs. payment, investment accounting, repurchase agreements, wire transfer agreements,
and collateral/depository agreements. No person may engage in an investment
transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the procedures
established by the County Treasurer.
7.5 Treasury Oversight Committee
In compliance with a Board Order of the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, the County
Contra Costa County Treasury Oversight Committee was established in November 6 of 1995.
The intent of the Committee is to allow local agencies, including school districts, as well as the
public, to participate in reviewing the policies that guide the investment of public funds. The
mandate for the existence of the Committee was suspended in 2004 by the State of California;
however, the Committee serves an important function and the Treasurer’s Office has elected to
continue the program.
7.5.a The Committee shall annually review and monitor the County’s Investment Policy.
7.5.b The Committee shall cause an annual audit to determine the County Treasurer’s
compliance with the Investment Policy and all investment funds in the county Treasury.
8.0 SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY
8.1 Delivery vs. Payment: All trades of marketable securities will be executed (cleared and settled)
on a delivery vs. payment (DVP) basis to ensure that securities are deposited in the County
Treasurer’s safekeeping institution prior to the release of funds.
8.2 Third-party Safekeeping: Securities will be held by an independent third-party safekeeping
institution selected by the County Treasurer. All securities will be evidenced by safekeeping
receipts in the County’s name or in a name designated by the County Treasurer. The safekeeping
institution shall annually provide a copy of its most recent report on internal controls - Service
Organization Control Reports (formerly 70, or SAS 70) prepared in accordance with the Statement
on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) No. 16 (effective June 15, 2011.)
8.2.a A local agency purchasing or obtaining any securities prescribed in this section, in a
negotiable, bearer, registered or non-registered format, shall require delivery of the
securities to the local agency, including those purchased for the agency by financial
advisors, consultants or managers using the agency’s funds, by book entry, physical
delivery or by third-party custodial agreement. The transfer of securities to the
counterparty bank’s customer book-entry account may be used for book-entry delivery.
For purposes of this section, “counterparty” means the other party to the transaction. A
306
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ANNUAL INVESTMENT POLICY FY 2024-2025 Page 9
counterparty bank’s trust department or separate safekeeping department may be used
for the physical delivery of the security if the security is held in the name of the local
agency. Where this section specifies a percentage limitation for a particular category of
investment, that percentage is applicable only at the date of purchase. Where this section
does not specify a limitation on the term of remaining maturity at the time of the
investment, no investment shall be made in any security other than a security underlying
a repurchase or reverse repurchase agreement authorized by this section.
8.2.b In compliance with this section, the securities of Contra Costa County and its agencies
shall be in safekeeping at The Bank of New York Trust Company, N. A., a counterparty
bank’s trust department or as defined in the debt indenture and contract.
8.3 Internal Controls: The County Treasurer is responsible for establishing and maintaining an
internal control structure designed to ensure that the assets of the Treasurer are protected from
loss, theft or misuse. Specifics for the internal controls shall be documented in an investment
procedures manual that shall be reviewed and updated periodically by the County Treasurer.
The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these
objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of control
should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits
requires estimates and judgements by management.
As part of the internal controls, the investment portfolio managed by the County Treasurer shall
be audited annually by both internal and external auditors.

brokers/dealer may be deleted from the Approved Brokers list without cause and without prior
notification.

A list will be maintained of financial institutions authorized to provide investment services. In

11.2.a A local agency shall not invest any funds pursuant to this Article or pursuant to Article 2
(commencing with Section 53630) in inverse floaters, range notes, or mortgage-derived,
interest-only strips.
11.2.b (1) Except as provided in paragraph (2), a local agency shall not invest any funds pursuant
to this article or pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 53630) in any security
that could result in zero-interest accrual if held to maturity. However, a local agency may
hold prohibited instruments until their maturity dates. The limitation in this subdivision
shall not apply to local agency investments in shares of beneficial interest issued by
diversified management companies registered under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (15 U.S.C. Sec. 80a-1, et seq.) that are authorized for investment pursuant to

(2) Notwithstanding the prohibition in paragraph (1), a local agency may invest in
securities issued by, or backed by, the United States government that could result in zero-
or negative-interest accrual if held to maturity, in the event of, and for the duration of, a
period of negative market interest rates. A local agency may hold these instruments until
their maturity dates.
11.2.c This section shall remain in effect only until January 1, 2026, and as of that date is
repealed.
12.0 INVESTMENT PARAMETERS
12.1 Diversification: Investments shall be diversified to minimize the risk of loss and to maximize
the rate of return by:
1. Limiting investment to avoid overconcentration in securities from a specific issuer or
business sector (excluding U.S. Treasury securities),
2. Limiting investment in securities that have higher credit risks,
314
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ANNUAL INVESTMENT POLICY FY 2024-2025 Page 17
3. Investing in securities with varying maturities, and
4. Continuously investing a portion of the portfolio in readily available funds such as
investment pools, money market funds, or repurchase agreements to ensure that
appropriate liquidity is maintained in order to meet ongoing obligations.
12.2 Maximum Maturities: To the extent possible, the County Treasurer shall attempt to match
its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. Unless matched to a specific cash
flow, the Treasurer will not directly invest in securities maturing more than five (5) years from
the date of purchase (specifically the settlement date) or in accordance with state and local
statutes and ordinances. The Treasurer shall adopt weighted average maturity limitations
(which often range from 90 days to 3 years), consistent with the investment objectives.
Because of inherent difficulties in accurately forecasting cash flow requirements, a portion of
the portfolio should be continuously invested in readily available funds such as LAIF, money
market funds, or overnight products to ensure that appropriate liquidity is maintained to
meet ongoing obligations.
12.3 Exception to Maximum Maturity: In accordance with Government Code, the County
Treasurer retains the right to petition the Board of Supervisors for approval to invest in
securities with a final maturity in excess of five years. The Board of Supervisors adoption of
any resolution allowing maturities beyond five years shall be considered an allowed
modification to this policy and any investments made in accordance with the modification
shall be allowable under this policy.
12.4 Investment Criteria1: All limitations set forth in this Policy are applicable only at the time of
purchase. The County Treasurer has the full discretion to rebalance the portfolio when it is
out of compliance owing to various reasons, such as market fluctuation.

13.0 EXTERNALLY MANAGED INVESTMENT POOLS, MUTUAL FUNDS AND SEPARATE ACCOUNTS
The County Treasurer may invest a portion of the investment pool assets in investment pools, mutual
funds, and separate account investment funds managed by the external investment managers. A
thorough due diligence shall be conducted on the external investment managers and the pool/funds prior
to investing, and on a continual basis.
14.0 PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT ACTIVITY
14.1 Passive Portfolio Management:
(See Section 6.0., General Strategy)
14.2 Purchase of Investment Securities:
Investment Securities will be purchased in the most cost effective and efficient manner by
using a competitive bidding process. However, the investment securities may or may not carry
the highest coupon or yield at the time of purchase after taking into consideration the various
limitations of the Investment Policy and risks.
ESG investments may be considered so long as such investments achieve equivalent safety,
liquidity, and yield compared to other investment opportunities.
316
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ANNUAL INVESTMENT POLICY FY 2024-2025 Page 19
14.3 Reviewing and Monitoring of the Portfolio:
The portfolio is closely monitored on a regular basis for compliance purposes. Both monthly
and quarterly reports will review portfolio investments to ensure they are kept track of in a
timely manner. The reports will also monitor the County Treasurer’s investment practices
and the results of such practices.
14.4 Portfolio Adjustments:
Certain actions may be taken if the portfolio becomes out of compliance. For instance, should
a concentration limitation be exceeded due to an incident such as a fluctuation in portfolio
size, the affected securities may be held to maturity to avoid losses; however, the County
Treasurer may choose to rebalance the portfolio earlier to bring it back into compliance if the
portfolio will not suffer any losses for selling the investment prior to maturity.
14.5 Performance Standards:
The investment portfolio will be managed in accordance with the parameters specified within
this Policy. The portfolio should obtain a market average rate of return during a
market/economic environment of stable interest rates. A series of appropriate benchmarks,
such as 6-month US Treasury Bill, Fed Funds Rates Index, may be referenced for comparison
purposes. However, the benchmarks may change as appropriate based on the duration of the
investment pool and/or cash flow requirements.
15.0 REPORTING
15.1 Methodology: The County Treasurer shall prepare an investment report at least quarterly,
including a management summary that provides an analysis of the status of the current
investment portfolio and transactions made over the last quarter. This management
summary will be prepared in a manner which will allow the County Treasurer to ascertain
whether investment activities during the reporting period have conformed to the investment
policy. The report shall be provided to the Chief Administrative Officer, the County Auditor,
the Board of Supervisors, Treasury Oversight Committee and any pool participants
[Government Code 27133(e), and 53646(b)]. The report will include the following:
1. The type of investment, issuer, date of maturity, par and dollar amount invested on all
securities, investments and money held by the County Treasurer.
2. A description of any of the local agency's funds, investments, or programs that are under
the management of contracted parties, including lending programs.
3. A current market value as of the date of the report of all securities held by the local
agency, and under management of any outside party that is not also a local agency or the
State of California Local Agency Investment Fund, and the source of this same valuation.
4. A statement that the portfolio is in compliance with the investment policy, or the manner
in which the portfolio is not in compliance.
5. A statement denoting the ability of the County Treasurer to meet its pool's expenditure
requirements for the next six months, or an explanation as to why sufficient money may
not be available.
6. Listing of individual securities by type and maturity date held at the end of the reporting
period.
A. PLEDGE REPORT: Any securities that are pledged or loaned for any purpose shall be
reported in the Quarterly Investment Report. The transaction details will be provided,
including purpose, beginning and termination dates and all parties to the contract.
317
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ANNUAL INVESTMENT POLICY FY 2024-2025 Page 20
The security descriptions as to type, name, maturity date, coupon rate, CUSIP and
other material information will be included.
B. REVERSE REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS REPORT: All reverse repurchase agreements
entered into, whether active or inactive by the end of each quarter, shall be reported
in the Treasurer’s Quarterly Investment Report.
7. Realized and unrealized gains or losses resulting from appreciation or depreciation by
listing the cost and market value of securities over one-year duration that are not
intended to be held until maturity.
8. Average maturity and duration of portfolio on investments as well as the yield to maturity
of the portfolio as compared to applicable benchmarks.
9. Percentage of the total portfolio which each type of investment represents.
10. Whatever additional information or data may be required by the legislative body of the
local agency.
15.2 Marking to Market: The market value of the portfolio shall be calculated at least quarterly
and a statement of the market value of the portfolio shall be issued at least quarterly. This
will ensure that a review of the investment portfolio, in terms of value and price volatility, has
been performed on a regular basis.
16.0 COMPENSATION
In accordance with Government Code §§27013 and 53684, the County Treasurer will charge all
pool participants for administrative and overhead costs. Costs include, but are not limited to,
employee salaries and benefits, portfolio management, bank and custodial fees, software
maintenance fees and other indirect costs incurred from handling and managing funds. In
addition, when applicable, the costs associated with the Treasury Oversight provisions of
Government Code §§ 27130-27137 shall be included as administrative costs. Costs will be
deducted from interest earnings on the pool prior to apportioning and payment of interest. The
County Treasurer shall annually prepare a proposed budget providing a detailed itemization of all
estimated costs which comprise the administrative fee charged in accordance with Government
Code §27013. The administrative fee will be subject to change. Fees will be deducted from
interest earnings.
16.1 Deduction of Costs: At the discretion of the County Treasurer, the County Treasurer may
deduct actual administrative costs and may make any adjustments from the interest earnings
and apportions the remaining earnings to all participants based on the positive average daily
balance (Government Code 53684(b)).
16.2 Directed Investments Costs: At the discretion of the County Treasurer, the County Treasurer
may deduct from interest earnings the actual administrative costs of such directed
investments (Government Code §27013).
17.0 CALCULATING AND APPORTIONING POOL EARNINGS
The Investment Pool Fund is comprised of monies from multiple units of the County, agencies,
school districts and special districts. Each entity has unique cash flow demands, which dictate the
type of investments the Treasurer’s Office may purchase. To ensure parity among the pool
members when apportioning interest earnings, the following procedures have been developed:
1. Interest is apportioned on at least a quarterly basis in accordance with Government Code
§53684.
318
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ANNUAL INVESTMENT POLICY FY 2024-2025 Page 21
2. Interest is apportioned to pool participants based on the participant’s average daily fund
balance and the total average daily balance of deposits in the investment pool.
3. Interest is calculated on a cash basis for all investments in the County Treasurer’s investment
pool and reported to the Auditor-Controller for distribution into the funds of the participants.
4. Interest earned on the directed investments is credited to pool participants on a cash basis.
Administrative costs are determined annually by the County Treasurer based on actual
administrative and overhead costs incurred in the previous year.
5. The negative average daily fund balance will be charged interest at the rate of interest that is
being apportioned.
18.0 DEPOSITS AND WITHDRAWALS IN THE TREASURY
18.1 Deposit by Voluntary Participants
Following are the terms and conditions for depositing funds for investment purposes by voluntary
participants, i.e. entities that are not legally required to deposit their funds in the County Treasury.
18.1.a Resolution by the County Board of Supervisors authorizing the acceptance of outside
participants by the County Treasury.
18.1.b Resolution by the legislative or governing body of the local agency (voluntary participant)
authorizing the investment of funds pursuant to Government Code 53684.
18.1.c Treasury investments will be directed transactions. For each transaction, The local agency
(voluntary participant) must indicate the fund source, the amount to be invested and the
duration of the investment.
18.2 Withdrawal Request
The Treasurer’s Office has established the Withdrawal of Funds Policy for all Treasury Investment
Pool participants who seek to withdraw funds from the County Treasury Investment Pool for
various purposes. In accordance with California State Government Code Section 27136, all
participants having funds on deposit in the Pool and seeking to withdraw their funds, shall first
submit a formal written request to the County Treasurer. The County Treasurer shall evaluate the
withdrawal proposals of all Pool participants upon receipt of the written requests. The evaluation
process may take up to 30 days. The County Treasurer reserves the right to reject any request for
withdrawal if it is in the Treasurer’s opinion after thorough evaluation, that the withdrawal will
violate applicable laws and/or governing documents, compromise Treasurer’s fiduciary
responsibility, adversely impact the stability of the Pool, or harm the interests of any Pool
Participant. Such rejection shall prevent the withdrawal of the funds.
Typically, participants make withdrawals for the following two reasons: a) regular operations and
b) investing or depositing funds outside the Pool in accordance with California State Government
Code Section 27136 (a). The County Treasurer seeks to honor all written withdrawal requests for
regular operating purposes that are approved by the County Auditor-Controller’s Office in a timely
fashion. However, the County Treasurer recognizes that occasionally the Pool participants may
request large amounts in withdrawals to cover unexpected operational needs. To accommodate
such withdrawals and allow for adequate time for adjustments to the liquidity position of the
Pool, the County Treasurer expects all Pool Participants to submit their written requests within
the following timeframes:
i) Withdrawals of Up to $1 million – prior to 8:00 a.m. for same day disbursement
ii) Withdrawals of between $1 million to $10 million – 1 business day in advance of
disbursement
iii) Withdrawals of more than $10 million – 3 business day in advance of disbursement
319
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ANNUAL INVESTMENT POLICY FY 2024-2025 Page 22
Withdrawals of investment deposits from the County Treasury Investment Pool by any Pool
participant shall coincide with investment maturities and/or authorized sale of securities by
authorized personnel of the Pool Participant. Except for funds in the California State Local Agency
Investment Fund, a five-business-days notification may be required when authorized sale of
securities is involved. In the event that the Treasurer must liquidate investments in order to honor
the withdrawal request, the Participant who requests the withdrawal shall be subject to all
expenses associated with the liquidation, including, but not limited to loss of principal and interest
income, withdrawal penalties, and associated fees.
To maintain full fiduciary responsibility for investment and administration of the Pool, the County
Treasurer shall NOT permit statutory participants to withdraw funds from and subsequently
deposit the funds outside the Pool for the purpose of investments without prior approval of the
County Treasurer. As permitted by the Government Code Section 53635, upon request the
County Treasurer may enter into an investment agreement with a third-party investment
manager on behalf of statutory participants. However, the funds shall remain in the Pool during
the entire agreement period under the care of the custodian bank retained by the County
Treasurer.
Voluntary participants may withdraw funds from and subsequently deposit the funds outside the
Pool for investment purposes upon the County Treasurer’s approval. However, such withdrawals
shall be made for the entire amount of the participant’s funds deposited in the Pool. Upon
completion of such withdrawals, the voluntary participants will no longer be able to participate in
the Pool or receive further services from the County Treasurer’s Office. NO partial withdrawals
from the Pool for investment purposes are permitted.
Please refer to the Withdrawal of Funds Policy, which is maintained as a separate document, for
detailed guidelines and procedures.
19.0 TEMPORARY BORROWING OF POOL FUNDS
Section 6 of Article XVI of the California Constitution provides in part that "the treasurer of any
city, county, or city and county shall have power and the duty to make such temporary transfers
from the funds in custody as may be necessary to provide funds for meeting the obligations
incurred for maintenance purposes by city, county, city and county, district, or other political
subdivision whose funds are in custody and are paid out solely through the treasurer's office."
The County Auditor-Controller and the County Treasurer shall make a temporary transfer of funds
to the requesting agency, not to exceed 85% of the amount of money which will accrue to the
agency during the fiscal year, provided that the amount of such transfer has been determined by
the County Auditor-Controller to be transferable under the constitutional and statutory provisions
cited in Article XVI and has been certified by the County Treasurer-Tax Collector to be available.
Such temporary transfer of funds shall not be made prior to the first day of the fiscal year nor
after the last Monday in April of the current fiscal year.
20.0 INVESTMENT OF BOND PROCEEDS
The County Treasurer shall invest bond proceeds using the standards of this Investment Policy.
The bond proceeds will be invested in securities permitted by the bond documents. If the bond
documents are silent, the bond proceeds will be invested in securities permitted by this Policy.
21.0 BUSINESS CONTINUITY PLAN
The Contra Costa County Treasurer’s Business Continuity Plan includes critical phone numbers
and addresses of key personnel as well as active bankers and brokers/dealers. Laptops, tablets,
smart phones, and other equivalent electronic devices shall be issued to key personnel for
320
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ANNUAL INVESTMENT POLICY FY 2024-2025 Page 23
communicating between staff, bank and brokers/dealers. Copies of the plan shall be distributed
to the treasury staff: the Assistant County Treasurer, the Treasurer’s Investment Officer, the
Treasurer’s Investment Operations Analyst, the Accountant, and the Accounting Technician. The
treasury staff shall interact with one another by home phone, cell phone, or e-mail to decide an
alternate location from which to conduct daily operations.
In the event treasury staff is unable to conduct normal business operations, the custodial bank
will automatically sweep all uninvested cash into an interest-bearing account at the end of the
business day. Until normal business operations have been restored, the limitations on the size of
an individual issuer and the percentage restrictions by investment type would be allowed to
exceed those approved in this investment policy.
22.0 POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
22.1 Exemption
Any investment currently held that does not meet the guidelines of this policy shall be exempted
from the requirements of this policy. At maturity or liquidation, such monies shall be reinvested
only as provided by this policy.
22.2 Amendments
This policy shall be reviewed on an annual basis. Any changes must be approved by the County
Treasurer and any other appropriate authority.

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ANNUAL INVESTMENT POLICY FY 2024-2025 Page 29
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
ACCRUED INTEREST The accumulated interest due on a bond as of the last interest payment made by
the issuer.
AGENCY A debt security issued by a federal or federally sponsored agency. Federal agencies are backed
by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Federally sponsored agencies (FSAs) are backed by
each particular agency with a market perception that there is an implicit government guarantee. An
example of federal agency is the Government National mortgage Association (GNMA). An example of a
FSA is the Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA).
AMORTIZATION The systematic reduction of the amount owed on a debt issue through periodic
payments of principal.
AVERAGE LIFE The average length of time that an issue of serial bonds and/or term bonds with a
mandatory sinking fund feature is expected to be outstanding.
BANKERS ACCEPTANCES A time bill of exchange drawn on and accepted by a commercial bank to
finance the exchange of goods. When a bank “accepts” such a bill, the time draft becomes, in effect, a
predated, certified check payable to the bearer at some future specified date. The commercial bank
assumes primary liability once the draft is accepted.
BASIS POINT A unit of measurement used in the valuation of fixed-income securities equal to 1/100 of
one percent of yield. For example, if interest rates increase from 8.25% to 8.50%, the difference is
referred to as a 25-basis-point increase.
BENCHMARK A comparative base for measuring the performance or risk tolerance of the investment
portfolio. A benchmark should represent a close correlation to the level of risk and the average duration
of the portfolio’s investment.
BID The indicated price at which a buyer is willing to purchase a security or commodity.
BLUE SKY LAWS Common term for state securities law, which vary from state to state. Generally refers
to provision related to prohibitions against fraud, dealer and broker regulations and securities
registration.
BOND A bond is essentially a loan made by an investor to a division of the government, a government
agency or a corporation. The bond is a promissory note to repay the loan in full at the end of a fixed
time period. The date on which the principal must be repaid is called the maturity date or maturity. In
addition, the issuer of the bond, that is the agency or corporation receiving the loan proceeds and
issuing the promissory note, agrees to make regular payments of interest at a rate initially stated on the
bond. Bonds are rated according to many factors, including cost, degree of risk and rate of income.
BOOK VALUE Refers to value of a held security as carried in the records of an investor. May differ from
current market value of the security.
327
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ANNUAL INVESTMENT POLICY FY 2024-2025 Page 30
BROKER/DEALER Any person engaged in the business of effecting transaction in securities in this state
for the account of others or for her/his own account. Broker/dealer also includes a person engaged in
the regular business of issuing or guaranteeing options with regard to securities not of her/his own
issue.
CALLABLE BOND A bond issue in which all or part of its outstanding principal amount may be redeemed
before maturity by the issuer under specified conditions.
CALL PRICE The price at which an issuer may redeem a bond prior to maturity. The price is usually at a
slight premium to the bond’s original issue price to compensate the holder for the loss of income and
ownership.
CALL RISK The risk to the bondholder that a bond may be redeemed prior to maturity.
CASH SALE/PURCHASE A transaction which calls for delivery and payment of securities on the same day
that the transaction is initiated.
CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT (CD) Certificates issued against funds deposited in a commercial bank for a
definite period of time and earning a specified rate of return. They are issued in two forms, negotiable
and non-negotiable.
CLEAN UP CALL An action of a debt instrument issuer requiring early redemption of the instrument to
reduce its own administrative expenses. This normally occurs when the principal outstanding is
significantly reduced to a small amount, e.g., less than 10% of the original issue.
COLLATERALIZATION Process by which a borrower pledges securities, property, or other deposits for
the purpose of securing the repayment of a loan and/or security.
COMMERCIAL PAPER Short-term, unsecured promissory notes issued in either registered or bearer
form and usually backed by a line of credit with a bank. Maturities do not exceed 270 days and generally
average 30-45 days.
CONVEXITY A measure of a bond’s price sensitivity to changing interest rates. A high convexity
indicates greater sensitivity of a bond’s price to interest rate changes.
COUPON RATE The annual rate of interest received by an investor from the issuer of certain types of
fixed-income securities. Also known as the “interest rate.”
CREDIT QUALITY The measurement of the financial strength of a bond issuer. This measurement helps
an investor to understand an issuer’s ability to make timely interest payments and repay the loan
principal upon maturity. Generally, the higher the credit quality of a bond issuer, the lower the interest
rate paid by the issuer because the risk of default is lower. Credit quality ratings are provided by
nationally recognized rating agencies.
CREDIT RISK The risk to an investor that an issuer will default in the payment of interest and/or
principal on a security.
CURRENT YIELD (CURRENT RETURN) A yield calculation determined by dividing the annual interest
received on a security by the current market price of that security.
328
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ANNUAL INVESTMENT POLICY FY 2024-2025 Page 31
CUSIP NUMBERS CUSIP is an acronym for Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures.
CUSIP numbers are identification numbers assigned each maturity of a security issue and usually printed
on the face of each individual security in the issue. The CUSIP numbers are intended to facilitate
identification and clearance of securities.
DELIVERY VERSUS PAYMENT (DVP) A type of securities transaction in which the purchaser pays for the
securities when they are delivered either to the purchaser or his/her custodian.
DERIVATIVE SECURITY Financial instrument created from, or whose value depends upon, one or more
underlying assets or indexes of asset values.
DISCOUNT The amount by which the par value of a security exceeds the price paid for the security.
DIVERSIFICATION A process of investing assets among a range of security types by sector, maturity, and
quality rating.
DURATION A measure of the timing of the cash flows, such as the interest payments and the principal
repayment, to be received from a given fixed-income security. This calculation is based on three
variables: term to maturity, coupon rate, and yield to maturity. The duration of a security is a useful
indicator of its price volatility for given changes in interest rates.
EARNINGS APPORTIONMENT The quarterly interest distribution of the Pool Participants where the
actual investment costs incurred by the Treasurer are deducted from the interest earnings of the Pool.
ESG INVESTING Also known as “socially responsible investing,” “impact investing,” and “sustainable
investing” refers to investing which prioritizes optimal environmental, social, and governance (ESG)
factors or outcomes.
FAIR VALUE The amount at which an investment could be exchanged in a current transaction between
willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale.
FEDERAL FUNDS (FED FUNDS) Funds placed in Federal Reserve banks by depository institutions in
excess of current reserve requirements. These depository institutions may lend fed funds to each other
overnight or on a longer basis. They may also transfer funds among each other on a same-day basis
through the Federal Reserve banking system. Fed funds are considered to be immediately available
funds.
FEDERAL FUNDS RATE Interest rate charged by one institution lending federal funds to the other.
FEDERAL OPEN MARKET COMMITTEE (FOMC) This committee sets Federal Reserve guidelines
regarding purchases and sales of government securities in the open market as a means of influencing
the volume of bank credit and money.
FIDUCIARY An individual who holds something in trust for another and bears liability for its safekeeping.
FINANCIAL INDUSTRY REGULATORY AUTHORITY (FINRA) FINRA is an independent, nongovernmental
organization that writes and enforces the rules governing registered brokers and broker-dealer firms in
the United States. Its stated mission is “to safeguard the investing public against fraud and bad
practices.” FINRA regulates the trading of equities, corporate bonds, securities futures, and options.
329
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY ANNUAL INVESTMENT POLICY FY 2024-2025 Page 32
Unless a firm is regulated by a different self-regulatory organization, it is required to be a FINRA member
firm to do business.
FLOATING RATE NOTE A debt security whose interest rate is reset periodically (monthly, quarterly,
annually) and is based on a market index (e.g., Treasury bills, LIBOR, etc.).
FUTURES Commodities and other investments sold to be delivered at a future date.
GOVERNMENT SECURITIES An obligation of the U.S. government, backed by the full faith and credit of
the government. These securities are regarded as the highest quality of investment securities available
in the U.S. securities market. See “Treasury Bills, Notes and Bonds.”
INTEREST RATE See “Coupon Rate.”
INTERNAL CONTROLS An internal control structure is designed to ensure that the assets of the
Treasurer’s Investment Pool are protected from loss, theft, or misuse, and to provide reasonable
assurance that this objective is met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of
a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits
requires estimates and judgments by management.
Internal controls should address the following points:
1. Control of collusion—Collusion is a situation where two or more employees are working in
conjunction to defraud their employer.
2. Separation of transaction authority from accounting and record keeping—By separating the
person who authorizes or performs the transaction from the people who record or otherwise
account for the transaction, a separation of duties is achieved.
3. Custodial safekeeping—Securities purchased from a bank or dealer including appropriate
collateral (as defined by state law) shall be placed with an independent third party for custodial
safekeeping.
4. Avoidance of physical delivery securities—Book-entry securities are much easier to transfer and
account for since actual delivery of a document never takes place. Delivered securities must be
properly safeguarded against loss or destruction. The potential for fraud and loss increases with
physically delivered securities.
5. Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members—Subordinate staff members must
have a clear understanding of their authority and responsibilities to avoid improper actions. Clear
delegation of authority also preserves the internal control structure that is contingent on the
various staff positions and their respective responsibilities.
6. Written confirmation of transactions for investments and wire transfers—Due to the potential for
error and improprieties arising from telephone and electronic transactions, all transactions should
be supported by written communications and approved by the appropriate person. Written
communications may be via fax if on letterhead and if the safekeeping institution has a list of
authorized signatures.
7. Development of a wire transfer agreement with the lead bank and third-party custodian—The
designated official should ensure that an agreement will be entered into and will address the
following points: controls, security provisions, and responsibilities of each party making and
receiving wire transfers.

value of future coupon payments that will not be paid because of the call.
MARK TO MARKET Valuing the inventory of held securities at its current market value.
MARKET RISK The risk that the value of a security will rise or decline as a result of changes in market
conditions.
MARKET VALUE Price at which a security can be traded in the current market.
MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT A written contract covering all future transactions between the
parties to repurchase-reverse repurchase agreements that establishes each party’s rights in the
transaction. A master agreement will often specify, among other things, the right of the buyer-lender to
liquidate the underlying securities in the event of default by the seller-borrower.
MATURITY The date upon which the principal of a security becomes due and payable to the holder.
MEDIUM-TERM NOTES (MTNS) Corporate debt obligations continuously offered in a broad range of
maturities. MTNs were created to bridge the gap between commercial paper and corporate bonds. The

from a security holding at the same rate of return currently generated by that holding.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENT OR RP OR REPO An agreement consisting of two simultaneous transactions
whereby the investor purchases securities from a bank or dealer and the bank or dealer agrees to
repurchase the securities at the same price on a certain future date. The interest rate on a RP is that
which the dealer pays the investor for the use of his funds. Reverse repurchase agreements are the
mirror image of the RPs when the bank or dealer purchases securities from the investor under an
agreement to sell them back to the investor.

SIDE LETTER AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT
AND
UNITED CHIEF OFFICERS ASSOCIATION
This Side Letter is by and between United Chief Officers Association (“UCOA”) and the
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (“District”) (hereinafter collectively “the
Parties.”) This side letter is effective the first of the month following approval of the
Board of Supervisors.
This side letter amends the Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) between the
District and UCOA (July 1, 2023- June 30, 2027) to clarify that the District shall
determine and calculate vacation and sick leave accrual balances for employees
moving to/from 40-hour to 56-hour positions or assignments, and removes the monthly
minimum amount of standby and emergency recall duty.
The MOU shall be amended as follows:
SECTION 10 - VACATION LEAVE
10.4 Accrual Conversions. For employees moving between 40-hour and 56-hour
positions or assignments, accrual balances and monthly accrual rates will be converted
to match the commensurate rates and proportion of accruals to the new maximum in the
new bank at the time that the assignment is made. Any accruals utilized or earned will be
calculated at the rate in effect when utilized or earned and then will be added or subtracted
from the balance at the time the accruals are utilized or earned.
For example, a 56-hour employee with six years of service and an accumulated total of
288 hours of vacation leave out of a maximum limitation of 384 hours who utilizes 24
hours of accruals prior to reassignment to a 40-hour position, will have 24 hours
subtracted from the balance of 288 hours. Upon reassignment to a 40-hour position, the
remaining balance of 264 hours will then be converted utilizing the appropriate ratio, in
this case 0.625, resulting in a balance of 165 hours. Any accruals earned or utilized after
the reassignment to the 40-hour position shall be calculated at the 40-hour rate.
The conversion ratio is the monthly accrual rate of the new schedule divided by the
monthly accrual rate of the old schedule. Conversion ratios and accrual balances shall be
calculated by the District in accordance with the above methodology and shall be provided
by the District to the Auditor-Controller’s Office for review.
Remaining subsections in Section 10 will be renumbered accordingly.
SECTION 11 – SICK LEAVE
11.2 Credit Accrued and Charges Against Sick Leave. Sick leave credits accrue at
the following rates:
DocuSign Envelope ID: E87891A6-8005-4550-8A26-A6668D59C9AA
271337
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District & UCOA Side Letter Page 2 of 3
1. Shift Personnel Accruals (56-hour week). Sick leave shall be accrued at
the rate of fifteen (15) hours for each completed month of service.
2. Day Personnel Accruals (40-hour week). Sick leave shall be accrued at the
rate of eight (8) hours for each completed month of service.
3. General Terms
a. Unused sick leave credits accumulate without limit.
b. Credits to and charges against sick leave shall be made in minimum
amounts of one (1) minute increments and may not be rounded.
c. For employees moving between 40-hour and 56-hour positions or
assignments, accrual balances will be converted to match the same
rates and proportion of accruals in the new bank at the time that the
assignment is made. Any accruals utilized or earned will be
calculated at the rate in effect when utilized or earned and then will
be added or subtracted from the balance at the time the accruals are
utilized or earned.
For example, a 56-hour employee with a sick leave balance of 233
hours who utilizes 24 hours of sick leave prior to reassignment to a
40-hour position shall have the 24 hours subtracted from the 233
hour balance. The remaining 209 hours will then be converted
utilizing the appropriate ratios determined by the District to the 40-
hour balance, in this case the ratio being 0.5333 and the resulting
balance is 111.47. Any sick leave earned or utilized after the
reassignment to the 40-hour position shall be calculated at the 40-
hour rate.
The conversion ratio is the monthly accrual rate of the new schedule
divided by the monthly accrual rate of the old schedule. For example,
when converting to a 56-hour schedule at 15 hours of sick leave per
month from a 40-hour schedule at 8 hours of sick leave per month,
the conversion ratio is 15/8 or 1.875. Conversion ratios and accrual
balances shall be calculated by the District in accordance with the
above methodology and shall be provided by the District to the
Auditor-Controller’s Office for review.
cd. When an employee is separated other than through retirement,
accumulated sick leave credits shall be canceled, unless the
separation results from layoff, in which case the accumulated credits
shall be restored if employee is re-employed in a permanent position
within the period of the individual’s layoff eligibility.

272338
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District & UCOA Side Letter Page 3 of 3
de. As of the date of retirement, an employee’s accumulated sick leave
is converted to retirement time on the basis of one day of retirement
service credit for each day of accumulated sick leave credit
according to the policies and regulations of the Retirement Office.
SECTION 26 – OTHER TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT
26.8 Emergency Recall and Standby. Standby and emergency recall is a
requirement of all classifications covered under this agreement. Administration and
assignment of standby and emergency recall shall be at the District’s discretion.
Employees will be assigned to standby and emergency recall duty for a minimum of
eight (8) days each month for 56-hour personnel, and twelve (12) days each month for
40-hour personnel. Beginning August 1, 2023, the former differential for emergency
recall and standby in the amount of five percent (5.0%) of monthly base salary shall be
rolled into base pay for all classifications represented by the Association. The
Association understands and agrees that employees are compensated for emergency
recall and standby in their base pay and that no additional differentials or special pays
will be provided.
All other subsections of Section 10 – Vacation Leave, Section 11 – Sick Leave, and
Section 26 – Other Terms of Employment remain unchanged by this Side Letter
This Side Letter will remain in effect for the term of the current MOU between the
District and UCOA (July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2027). The terms of the Side Letter will be
incorporated into the successor MOU unless otherwise negotiated by the parties. All
other terms and conditions of the current MOU between the District and UCOA remain
unchanged by this Side Letter.
