Costa
County
Subject:2017 Annual Report on CCC Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Countywide.
BACKGROUND:
On November 5, 2013, the FC District presented to the Board its first annual report on flood protection
infrastructure in order to understand its history, condition, and future needs. Annually in February, starting
in 2014, we presented the Board with the FC District’s Annual Report for the previous year. The 2017
Annual Report is provided to update the Board on the FC District’s accomplishments in 2017 as well as
future challenges and next steps.
In summary, our community outreach events were successful, our capital programs made progress, and our
studies of aging infrastructure and unsustainable service levels continued to highlight some major concerns,
primarily regarding lack of funding.
Highlights of 2017 include:
· FC District staff visited Representatives at the State Capitol, talking about the need for stormwater
funding.
· The Lower Walnut Creek Restoration Project wrapped up its community-based planning process and
received over $2M in new grant funding.
· Students at Walnut Creek Intermediate School held a “Stay Out, Stay Alive” assembly attended by both
the County Fire District’s Swift Water Rescue Team and FC District staff.
· The FC District completed a 5th annual “Giving the Natives a Chance” community planting day, with
over 150 volunteers planting about 7,000 native grass plugs.
· The Wildcat/San Pablo Creeks levee remediation project was constructed, reducing flood risk in the North
Richmond area. The State Department of Water Resources provided $650,000 in additional grant funds on
top of their original $1.5M grant.
· The RainMap rainfall tracking and forecasting online tool received a California State Association of
Counties Challenge Merit Award. The RainMap is available at www.cccounty.us/RainMap.
· The FC District installed 11 new stream gauges funded by a $205,000 Department of Water Resources
Flood Emergency Response Grant.
· The Three Creeks Project is at the 90% design stage and expected to begin construction next year.
· Facility Condition Assessments for all FC District infrastructure are halfway complete through the
ten-year program.
We continue working with the California State Association of Counties and the County Engineers
Association of California after the passage of SB231, which could allow agencies to charge property
owners for stormwater services, similar to the exemption that water and wastewater utility districts have
under Proposition 218 voter requirements. We, like other agencies, are cautiously moving forward on
determining how SB231 will assist in creating sustainable funding sources to meet the FC District’s needs.
The FC District will continue implementation of the action plans outlined in the Annual Report. The key
action for the next few years will be to focus on developing sustainable funding for regional flood
protection and community drainage. For the full report and past reports, visit
www.cccounty.us/5815/Annual-Reports.
Staff recommends that the Board accept the 2017 Annual Report from the FC District, direct the Chief
Engineer to continue with the action plans recommended in the Report, with a follow-up report to this Board
annually, and refer the effort to develop sustainable funding for regional flood protection and community
drainage to the Transportation, Water and Infrastructure Committee.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not accept this report, the County’s flood protection and community drainage
If the Board does not accept this report, the County’s flood protection and community drainage
infrastructure issues will not be adequately addressed, which will lead to lower levels of flood protection for
our communities in the future.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
1. ACCEPT update from the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) on work previously
authorized by the Board to review existing land use regulations related to agriculture and to identify for
future Board consideration specific actions the County could take to further promote and incentivize
agricultural sustainability and economic vitality; and 2. AUTHORIZE DCD to convene a series of public
meetings with people and parties interested in agricultural sustainability and economic vitality in Contra
Costa County to review existing land use regulations and provide input on potential modifications to these
policies, in lieu of coordinating with the Contra Costa County Agriculture Advisory Task Force (Ag Task
Force) which is currently dormant.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None to the General Fund. Up to $150,000 from the Livable Communities Trust (District III portion) has
previously been allocated by the Board toward the effort.

To:Board of Supervisors
From:Diane Burgis, District III Supervisor
Date:February 13, 2018
Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Modifying Ag Land Use Policy & Public Engagement
BACKGROUND:
On December 20, 2016, at the recommendation of then Supervisor Piepho, the Board of Supervisors
approved the expenditure of up to $150,000 from the Livable Communities Trust (District III Portion)
and authorized DCD, in consultation with the Ag Task Force and local agricultural stakeholders, to
identify for future Board consideration specific actions the County could take to further promote and
incentivize agricultural sustainability and economic vitality (see Attachment 1). As the new District III
Supervisor, Supervisor Burgis has heard significant community interest in this topic and is very eager to
facilitate an effective public engagement effort that results in meaningful policy modifications. To
initiate the discussion on policy reform needs and ideas, Supervisor Burgis worked with DCD to
convene a meeting of agricultural stakeholders on November 15, 2017. Participants generated a number
of ideas (see Attachment 2) for policy reforms that provide a useful starting point for future discussions.
To expeditiously generate policy reforms that reflect the needs of the community and further promote
and incentive both agricultural sustainability and economic vitality, DCD needs a public engagement
strategy that does not depend on the Ag Task Force. The Ag Task Force has not met in years, does not
have any members with current appointments and is not anticipated to be in a position to start meeting
again in the near future. Therefore, it is recommended that in lieu of relying on the Ag Task Force for
input, DCD be authorized to convene a series of open, public meetings with persons and groups
interested in the policy reform topic. DCD would generate a contact list of interested stakeholders based
on its knowledge of the issue and in consultation with District Offices, publicize the effort on its website
and continuously update the list to include anyone interested in the topic and send announcements of
open, public meetings (perhaps four to eight in total) on this topic to everyone on the list inviting their
participation. It is recommended that meetings be held in or near agricultural areas of the County, with a
majority of the meetings being held in eastern Contra Costa County where the majority of agricultural
lands are located, but with some meetings in other areas as well. Participants would be invited and
encouraged to all meetings, or as many as they can, to stay engaged in the process and provide consistent
input as the effort progresses. The results of these discussions and the staff work would be presented to
the Board for review and direction and any modifications on General Plan policies or zoning provisions
would need to be considered by the County Planning Commission and approved by the Board.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Department of Conservation and Development is not authorized to convene a series of stakeholder
meetings in lieu of coordinating with the Ag Task Force, then the process for developing policies to
improve agricultural sustainability and vitality would be delayed
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The recommended action will not affect children’s programs in the County.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the County Clerk-Recorder, or designee, County Clerk-Recorder or designee
to execute a contract, subject to approval by the County Administrator and approval as to form by County
Counsel, with Dominion Voting Systems, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $6,750,000 for the purchase,
licensing, storage, and six years of maintenance of Dominion's Democracy Suite voting system, for the
period March 1, 2018 through December 31, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The County purchased its current voting system in 2005 for approximately $8 million using a combination
of Federal HAVA funds, State Prop 41 Funds and County matching funds. While the system has adequately
met the County’s needs, it is old technology and the equipment is failing. The lifespan of the equipment
when purchased was 10 years.
In anticipation of the need to replace the voting system and the uncertainty of receiving State or federal aid
to do so, the Board of Supervisors, in FY 16/17, authorized a special budgetary cost center (0043/2351) to
begin accumulating funds to replace the voting system. The funds derive from a surcharge to all agencies
conducting elections, including

FISCAL IMPACT: (CONT'D)
the County. State subsidy of voting system replacement costs may also become available next fiscal
year.
There is currently a balance of $4.7 million available for the purchase of a new voting system and
associated costs. The initial purchase cost, first year of maintenance, and first three years of offsite ballot
box storage is estimated to cost $4,496,500 including applicable taxes. Annual maintenance and storage
costs are expected to range from $400,000 to $600,000, which will be mitigated by anticipated savings
in operational costs and through elections fees.
BACKGROUND:
Our current election system is still operating several years after its ten-year life expectancy. The system
is nearing the end of its operational life. The department is experiencing a high failure rate of equipment
and relies on staff’ to cannibalize parts from machines or to find obsolete parts online to keep the
systems running. This has been going on for several years due to the State’s slow time frame for
approving and certifying new voting systems.
Elections Division staff kept abreast of potential new replacement systems. They attended voting system
demonstrations of several Secretary of State certified voting systems, including ES&S, Clear Ballot,
Hart, and Dominion. Dominion Systems offered a viable alternative that not only meets Contra Costa
County's immediate needs, but is flexible enough to meet them into the foreseeable future. The proposed
voting system improves the operational efficiency and security of our election processes. The Elections
Division will be using the system as a test in the March Vote-by-Mail election.
Under the contract, the County is purchasing 300 ImageCast Evolution voting units, related hardware,
embedded software, and related software and hardware support. On October 17, 2017, the California
Secretary of State conditionally approved use of Dominion’s Democracy Suite Version 5.2. This Board’s
approval of the Elections Department contract with Dominion is contingent on Dominion’s compliance
with all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Secretary of State’s approval, which is attached to
this board order.
The Elections Department has developed appropriate security procedures regarding the preparation and
operation of the system, and confirms that the vendor has established a County user group and provided
the Elections Department with the Democracy Suite Use Procedures, Version 5.2CA.11, all of which are
required by the Secretary of State’s conditional approval of the system.
Additional terms of the contract include: (1) the vendor leasing storage premises to store the 300 voting
system units on behalf of the County, at a County cost of $100,000 per year for the first three years of
the contract, (2) County’s right to terminate the contract with 30 days notice and a pro rata refund to
County, and (3) vendor’s obligation to upgrade the voting system and devices if they fail to comply with
the Secretary of State’s conditional approval or federal or state law
The proposal, staff analysis, and recommendations are attached
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County would continue to "make-do" with its current failing voting system, which could result in
delays providing election results and/or the inability to have sufficient working equipment available to
conduct a large election.

Joe:
The elections staff has attended voting system demonstrations in Marin County (ES&S), Solano
County (Clear Ballot) and attended a presentation (Hart) and a demonstration in this office
(Dominion). Their purpose was to keep abreast of emerging voting technologies and not for the
purpose of acquiring a new system. Our plans have all anticipated that we would use the existing
voting system through the 2020 Presidential Election.
To the surprise of all, the Dominion demonstration was powerful and the staff could immediately see
solutions to many of the challenges of our existing system and processes. Because of the potential
benefits, the staff asked about the possibility of purchasing the system as early as 2018. In response
to this question, the staff was asked to prepare a study/report comparing the available voting system
options and to make a recommendation.
Below is their report.
Scott O. Konopasek
Assistant Registrar of Voters
Staff Report on Voting Systems
Issue: Which California certified voting system should Contra Costa County purchase and
deploy for the June 2018 Primary Election, if any?
Background and Facts:
The County purchased its current voting system in 2005 for approximately $8 million. While the
system has adequately met the County’s needs, it is old technology and the equipment is failing.
The lifespan of the equipment when purchased was 10 years.
In 2017, a year in which no elections were conducted, we spent approximately 3,200 person
hours repairing and maintaining the system to extend its lifespan through the 2020 Presidential
Election.
The current system is paper based and uses 50 year old scantron technology which requires
tremendous space, time and manpower to handle, move, and process the millions of pieces of
paper in a single election. The system requires that we still use track-feed paper in dot matrix
printers and floppy disks.
The current canvass process—including adjudication, tabulation, and auditing—is time and labor
intensive, requiring 3,000 person hours per election and requires up to 30 days to complete.
The election management software (EMS) for the present system, Unity, is anything but a
unified system. There are five separate modules required to lay out ballots and program the
voting equipment. Each module requires re-entry and proofing the same information. The EMS
is complicated, inflexible, inefficient, and requires considerable effort to keep the modules in
sync and to ensure no errors or omissions.
The Clerk-Recorder-Elections Department has committed to a building remodel in the next year
which would require the current voting system server and central count equipment, or a future
system with a similar footprint, to be relocated to the elections warehouse. The cost of that move
and the construction of a secure area has been estimated to be approximately $50,000.
Our existing accessible voting technology, the AutoMARK, is difficult for poll workers to put
into operation on Election Day, voters have problems using it, and it fails at a high rate. We had
two formal HAVA/ADA complaints filed with the Secretary of State in 2016 as a direct result of
the unreliability of the AutoMARK.
Staff Report on Voting Systems
In 2016 we created Regional Early Voting Centers (REVS) throughout the county and we plan to
continue the program in the future. The main issue and bottleneck we encountered at the REVS
was the need to have an extensive inventory of paper ballots and the need to replenish them.
Ballot on Demand printing is expensive, slow and fraught with over regulation by the state.
The cost of the existing system (consisting of central count, precinct count and ballot marking
device) was over $7 million up front with an additional annual license and maintenance cost of
$250K.
There are currently only two voting systems certified for use in California.
We have $4.7 million in our voting system replacement account.
Assumptions:
A new system would be comprised of a central count system, precinct count system and ballot
marking devices.
A new central count system could fit into a reduced footprint at 555 Escobar.
It is possible to eliminate paper ballot inventories at Regional Early Voting Sites.
We could make a purchase using only existing funds.
Additional warehouse space may be needed.
Screening Criteria:
The following are required:
Options to consider must be currently certified for use in CA.
System must accommodate Chinese in addition to Spanish and English.
System must be available for June 2018 implementation.
The voting process must be intuitive and easy for voters.
Staff Report on Voting Systems
Evaluation Criteria:
These criteria describe the desired functionality of a new voting system and by which they are
evaluated.
Central Count Equipment
The equipment is well designed to reduce potential areas of jamming and limit parts that could
fail due to wear/breakage; design features include a short paper path—accessible without
disassembling the unit—and scanning process that does not pick ballot cards against gravity. The
system equipment is easy to trade out and replace because it is not proprietary and uses
commercial off the shelf units and consumables. Voting results are transmitted to the results
database over a network connection with controls over which batches are applied and when.
Digital sorting capabilities allow the system to scan each ballot card once, limiting the number of
ballot cards that are physically outstacked.
Ballot Marking Device (BMD)
The system equipment is easy to trade out and replace because it is not proprietary and uses
commercial off the shelf units and consumables; the system’s paper records are durable and can
last through the required retention period. All parts are easily accessible for field maintenance.
The system permits any device to be deployed to any location because memory capability is
sufficient to contain all ballot style information. Testing time is reduced because devices are
generic.
Precinct Count System
The polling place tabulator is also capable of serving as a Ballot Marking Device should the
system’s main BMD go out of service during voting hours. The system equipment is easy to
trade out and replace because it is not proprietary and uses commercial off the shelf units and
consumables. All parts are easily accessible for field maintenance. Any device can be deployed
to any location because memory capability is sufficient to contain all ballot style information.
Testing time is reduced because devices are generic.
Integrated Software
The system logic is coherent, providing integrated end-to-end software and services. All system
modules are linked with one data set and do not require transitioning to other software modules.
Staff Report on Voting Systems
Voting System Software
The system allows users to build templates with multiple options of template types in English,
Spanish, and Chinese. Each ballot design element can be proofed individually because the
system allows the export of elements as they appear on the ballot. The system produces a
formatted composite ballot that contains all contests, contest details, and headers in the same
order as they appear on their individual ballots. The user has flexibility to control reporting
criteria and can create customizable election results reports.
Digital Ballot Imaging and Retrieval
Ballots are imaged and retained digitally. Adjudication, including the recording of write-in votes
can be done digitally. It is easy to retrieve and view system records of interpretations of voter
marks on the ballots, how it recorded the results of the votes, and any manual adjustments.
Tabulation
The scanners required to process at least 28,000 ballot cards per hour fit in the reduced footprint
of 555 Escobar. (Throughput of 28,000 cards/hour allows processing of approx. 250,000 cards in
10 hours, the estimate of cards received before Election Day in a 50% turnout election.)
Regional Early Voting (REVS) - No Ballot Stock
Voting equipment deployed to Regional Early Voting Centers does not require paper ballot
inventory or Ballot on Demand printing.
Storage Footprint
When stored, the voting system hardware fits in a 4,000 sq. ft. single level facility. This space
requirement includes room to shift units to conduct testing and maintenance at the location where
the devices are stored.
Poll Worker Usability
The system is easy for poll workers to set up, place into and ensure its operation, and
troubleshoot throughout the day. The system uses equipment that poll workers are familiar with
in their daily lives (e.g. tablets, touch screens, printers).
Staff Report on Voting Systems
Staff Usability
All equipment pieces are easy and safe for one person to lift and/or handle. The system requires
minimal training because it uses equipment that staff are already familiar using in the course of
business (e.g. PCs, commercial scanners, printers, etc.). The vendor provides on-site staff
support and training.
Weighting and Scoring:
Each evaluation criterion is assigned a weight of 1-3 with 3 representing the most important
criterion.
Each criterion is assigned a raw score using a comparative method in which the courses of action
(COA) are compared to each other. The COA determined to most closely comply with the
criterion is scored with a “2”. The other COA is scored with a “1” or “0”. A “0” is used when
the criterion does not apply or when the COA fails to meet any aspect of the criterion being
evaluated.
The raw score is multiplied by the assigned weight for the criterion result in a weighted score.
The weighted scores for each COA are summed and the two scores compared.
In the event of a tie, the number of possible points is divided between the tied COAs. Example:
COA 1 and COA2 are tied using the 0,1,2 scale. The total number of point possible is 3. 3 is
divided by 2 so each COA receives a raw score of 1.5.
Course of Action 1: Dominion Voting’s Democracy Suite 5.2 is comprised of Image Cast
Central System, Image Cast Evolution poll site scanners and Image Cast BMD units.
Course of Action 2: Election Systems and Software’s EVS 5.2.1.0 is comprised of DS850
Central System, DS200 poll site scanners and ExpressVote BMD units.

Recommendation(s):
Based upon this analysis, the staff recommendation is for the Clerk-Recorder to purchase the
Dominion Democracy Suite 5.2 comprised of Image Cast Central System, Image Cast Evolution
poll site scanners, and Image Cast BMD units for use in the June 2018 Primary Election.
The results of this assessment are consistent with the results of Sacramento County’s RFP
competitive evaluation of these two certified systems (and several uncertified systems).
Sacramento’s evaluation scored the Dominion components under consideration the highest of all
the evaluated systems. A copy of the Registrar’s Board Report, purchase recommendation, and
final scoring results are Attachment 1.

Overview
The County's current voting system is 13-years old and needs to be replaced to provide for
expanded access to balloting as a result of newly enacted state regulations. The new technology
is needed to support the County's Vote Center model voting method to be implemented in the
June 2018 Statewide Primary Election. Department of General Services released Request For
Proposal (RFP) #8484 on July 14, 2017 to replace the system with newer technology and
responses were received from twelve vendors, which were evaluated and rated by an evaluation
team made up of staff from the Department of Voter Registration and Elections (VRE),
Department of Technology (DTECH) and the Department of General Services (DGS). The RFP
was divided into 10 Lots, each covering a specific component or technology needed to conduct
an election. The evaluation team is recommending award of contracts for six of the 10 Lots,
after identifying alternative solutions for three Lots and delaying selection of the final Lot,
Automatic Signature Recognition Technology, pending updates to the elections code.
Recommendation
It is recommended that your Board adopt the attached resolution:
1. Approving the award of contracts with Democracy Live, Dominion Voting, Runbeck Election
Services, and Tenex Software Solutions, Inc. for specified voting system solutions;
2. Authorizing the County Purchasing Agent or his designee to complete negotiations, execute,
modify and terminate (if needed) contracts with (1) Democracy Live, (2) Dominion Voting,
(3) Runbeck Election Services, (4) Tenex Software Solutions for specified voting system
solutions; and,
3. Authorizing the County Purchasing Agent to negotiate execute, modify and terminate (if
needed) a contract(s) with the next highest scorer of the specified Lot should negotiations
with any of the recommended vendors be unsuccessful.
Measures/Evaluation
Awarding the voting system and services in Lots will provide for implementation of the Vote
Center model in the most efficient and cost effective method. The resulting voting system
Approve The Award Of Contracts For Specified Voting Systems And Authorize The County
Purchasing Agent To Complete Negotiations And Execute The Contracts With Each Vendor For
Specified Voting System Solutions
Page 2
solution will allow the county to offer voters increased voting opportunities.
Fiscal Impact
The actual annual costs of the contracts will be determined following contract negotiation and
development with each vendor. Responses received from the successful vendors indicate first
year costs are approximately $2.43 million to purchase the components necessary to support 80
Vote Centers. First year costs to lease the same components are approximately $650,000. The
Purchasing Agent, working in collaboration with the County Executive or his designee, the
Registrar of Voters and the Chief Information Officer, will evaluate the best value for each
contract, comparing purchase and lease options where appropriate. VRE's Fiscal Year 2017-18
budget includes $1.1 million in HAVA funding that can be used to offset costs associated with
the acquisition of a voting system.
BACKGROUND
On May 24, 2017, the Registrar of Voters presented the status of the County's voting system and
the need for a replacement voting system. The current Optical Scan system, a fill-in-the-bubble
ballot voting system, has been in use for more than 13 years and several components of the
voting system need to be replaced. Both the M650 central count ballot scanners (used to count
ballots at the Registrar's Office) and the M100 precinct count ballot scanners (used at each
polling place on Election Day) experienced a high failure rate during the required November
2016 pre-election testing and also during use on Election Day.
On May 24, 2017, the Registrar of Voters recommended replacing the current voting system with
one that would support a vote center model of elections authorized by the recently enacted
Voter's Choice Act. The Act allows counties to mail all voters a vote-by-mail (VBM) ballot;
replace polling places with accessible vote centers, at which any voter can cast their ballot
starting 10 days before an election; and increase the number of VBM drop-off locations, open 28
days before an election. In order to gauge the level of support for voter centers and VBM voting,
VRE also worked with an independent survey company to determine voter's interest in the Vote
Center Model. When given information regarding cost savings for the Vote Center model, sixty-
eight percent of respondents supported the new system.
On June 6, 2017, after further review and deliberation, the Board of Supervisors approved Vote
Center model elections in Sacramento County and directed the County Purchasing Agent to
perform all activities necessary for recommending a vendor the acquisition of a new voting
system in Sacramento County.
DISCUSSION
RFP #8484 for voting systems and election technology systems was developed jointly by staff
from VRE, DOS and DTECH. DOS released the RFP on July 14, 2017. The County posted the
solicitation on the Public Purchase website and notified 61 vendors. Of the firms solicited, one
was a State of California certified small business, none were State of California micro-
businesses, and five were local Suppliers.
Approve The Award Of Contracts For Specified Voting Systems And Authorize The County
Purchasing Agent To Complete Negotiations And Execute The Contracts With Each Vendor For
Specified Voting System Solutions
Page 3
RFP #8484 contained 10 separate Lots, each covering a specific component or technology
needed to conduct an election. Each proposer was required to include in their scope of service
their response for system development, security, delivery, installation and staff training. Future
software and hardware improvements, upgrades and modifications were required to be provided
by the proposer through the term of the contract. The complete system will be tested during a
comprehensive test election as part of the acceptance process.
All proposals were required to meet federal and state laws and regulations governing voting
systems in California, and comply with voting accessibility requirements. The proposed systems
were also required to meet the standards set forth in the Voter's Choice Act. Any system or
technology proposed needed to have the ability to be certified by the State of California by
October 6, 2017.
A pre-Proposal conference was conducted on July 26, 2017 to address any vendor questions, and
provide clarification. On August 3, 2017, DGS published addendum #3 which provided answers
to all the questions submitted by the July 27, 2017 questions deadline.
By the RFP closing date of August 28, 2017, twelve vendors had submitted proposals for one or
more of the 10 Lots listed in the RFP. Proposals were received from the following vendors: (1)
Democracy Live, (2) Dominion Voting, (3) Runbeck Election Services, (4) Tenex Software
Solutions, Inc., (5) Ballot Trax, (6) Clear Ballot Group, Inc., (7) Demtech Voting Solutions, Inc.,
(8) Election Systems & Software, LLC, (9) Five Cedars Group, Inc., (10) knowINK, (11) Robis
Election, Inc., and (12) VR Systems, Inc. None of the proposers qualify as a local Supplier or
State Certified micro-business. The federal funding supporting this project prevents the
application of the County's Procurement Opportunity Program's preferences, the County's local
and micro-business vendor preferences program.
Evaluation Criteria
Vendors were asked to provide responses to each Lot for which they wanted to present their
proposed solution. Each Lot contained evaluation criteria specific to the technology proposed by
the vendor, including administration of the system, security, and technical functionality.
Four vendors that submitted proposals (BallotTrax, Clear Ballot Group, DemTech Voting
Solutions, Inc, and VR Systems, Inc.) did not have systems that were certified or that would be
certified for use in California by the time of contract signing and were eliminated from
consideration.
The remaining vendors' proposals were reviewed by the evaluation team who concluded that it is
in the County's best interest to award contracts to four vendors for voting system and election
technology. The team's recommendations are based on a thorough review of each proposal in
terms of system functionality, security, certification status and pricing.
The evaluation team, made up of staff from the three departments performed an in depth review
of the written responses. All decision-makers, evaluation team members and the person signing
the contracts have read, understand and documented that they will comply with the County
procurement code of ethics and all required forms are in the RFP/contract file and/or personnel
file. The vendors scoring the highest on the written responses were invited to demonstrate their
Approve The Award Of Contracts For Specified Voting Systems And Authorize The County
Purchasing Agent To Complete Negotiations And Execute The Contracts With Each Vendor For
Specified Voting System Solutions
Page 4
solutions. These demonstrations assisted the staff in fully understanding the operation of the
proposed solution.
Each of the proposed systems were reviewed by multiple DTECH staff on an extensive list of
security questions and requirements.
Evaluation Results
After conducting a comprehensive evaluation based on the criteria listed in the RFP, the County
released the Notice of Intent To Award Contract letter listing each Lot to be awarded, pending
Board approval. At that time, the Purchasing Agent began preliminary negotiations with each
vendor on the terms and conditions of their proposal. The Purchasing Agent will complete
negotiations with each vendor and execute the resulting contracts following approval of award
from the County of Sacramento Board of Supervisors. If negotiations are not successful with
any vendor, the County will begin negotiations with the next highest scorer of the specified Lot.
VRE is recommending four vendors be awarded contracts for six Lots, which are listed and
described below. Vendor ratings for each Lot are shown in Attachment 1 - RFP #8484 Final
Scores. VRE elected not to award four of the Lots due to alternative solutions or limited
effectiveness of available solutions. These are also listed and described below.
Lot A — Democracy Live, Inc.
Lot 9— No Award
Lot C — Dominion Voting Systems Inc.
Lot D — Runbeck Election Services, Inc.
Lot E — Dominion Voting Systems Inc.
Lot F —No Award
Lot G — Dominion Voting Systems Inc.
Lot H — No Award
Lot I — Tenex Software Solutions, Inc.
Lot J — No Award
Lot A - Remote Accessible Vote By Mail Ballot Management (RAVBM) (Democracy Live) -
RAVBM provides access to ballots and voting materials for voters with disabilities who need
assistance to mark their ballot, and to military and overseas voters who cannot physically appear
at a vote center to vote. This technology is required in all California elections. Democracy
Live's solution is fully hosted and provides the on-line finable ballot, and accessible candidate
statements and measure text in all federally required languages.
Lot C - Ballot Creation and Outnut Management (Dominion Voting) - The solutions
proposed by Dominion Voting for this and Lots E and G described below, provide for an
integrated election experience for the voters and for election administrators. The ballot creation
and output management technology is intuitive and produces ballot templates that will be used in
each of the accessible marking devices, in the on-demand printers at Vote Centers and at the
VRE office, and in the RAVBM solution provided by Democracy Live.
Lot E - Vote Center Accessible Marking Device (Dominion Voting) - The accessible marking
devices, required by Election Code, will provide voters with disabilities the ability to mark their
ballot independently.
Approve The Award Of Contracts For Specified Voting Systems And Authorize The County
Purchasing Agent To Complete Negotiations And Execute The Contracts With Each Vendor For
Specified Voting System Solutions
Page 5
Lot D - Vote Center Ballot Printing On Demand (Runbeck Election Services, Inc.) - Ballot
printing on demand provides for all ballot types to be available, as needed, at each Vote Center.
As each voter checks in, the printer will produce the specific ballot for that voter. This
eliminates the need to supply each Vote Center with thousands of pre-printed paper ballots in all
the types and parties for an election. This technology has been used successfully since 2008 to
provide ballots for VBM voters who appear at VRE's central office.
Lot G - Central Count Tabulation Dominion Voting (Dominion Voting) - The central count
tabulation system tallies the vote on each ballot while automatically imaging the ballot for a
secondary validation of ballots cast and efficient duplication of ballots containing voter intent
marks.
Lot I - Help Desk Management (Tenex Software Solutions, Inc.) - The help desk management
solution provided by Tenex Software Solutions, Inc., will enable VRE's phone support staff to
be more responsive to calls for support from the Vote Centers during the entire 11-day voting
period. The solution will unify the three phone banks currently employed by the VRE, allowing
the staff at any of the phone banks to immediately learn of calls received at any phone bank. The
solution offers data analytic tools that VRE can use when preparing required election activity
reports.
The remaining Lots (Lots B, F, 1-1, and J) are not being awarded:
Lot B - Vote Center Check -In Management (No Award) -This solution is being dropped at
this time pending fmal regulations for poll-books from the state. The current voter registration
database vendor is developing a solution that will provide voter check-in functionality for the
County's Vote Centers.
Lot F - Vote Center Tabulation (No Award) - The evaluation team reviewed the solutions
presented and determined the tabulators at vote centers were not necessary and that the solution
proposed for Lot G, Central Count Tabulator is sufficient. California has 26 counties that
successfully conduct elections for more than 11 million of the state's voters using only central
count tabulators. HAVA Section 301 provides that jurisdictions that do not use electronic
equipment to assist voters with detecting errors establish a voter education program, specific to
the voting system, to notify each voter of the effect of over-voting and provide instructions on
how to correct the ballot before it is cast and counted. VRE has been providing this educational
information to all VBM voters since 2003. The robust education program required in the Voter's
Choice Act will include information on correcting an over-voted ballot.
Lot H - Ballot Duplication (No Award) - This technology is included as a basic functionality of
the central count tabulation solution proposed by Dominion Voting and is an ancillary support
solution provided by the Runbeck Election Services, Inc., ballot printing on demand proposal. A
separate contract for this functionality is not needed.
Lot J - Automatic Signature Recognition Technology (No Award) - The available technology
for electronic signature verification is promising; however, due to Elections Code limitations, it
does not significantly improve VRE's current manual signature verification process. The
Elections Code needs to be adjusted to allow signature matching against the most recent
Approve The Award Of Contracts For Specified Voting Systems And Authorize The County
Purchasing Agent To Complete Negotiations And Execute The Contracts With Each Vendor For
Specified Voting System Solutions
Page 6
signature on file. The number of ballot signatures that can be electronically verified against
older signatures on file is low, resulting in the need for additional manual review. VRE is
working with the state election association to explore modernizing this code.
Legal Analysis
County Counsel has reviewed the RFP process and will represent the county during contract
development and negotiation with each vendor. County Counsel will sign the contracts with the
Purchasing Agent when executed.
MEASURES/EVALUATION
Awarding the voting system and services in Lots will provide for implementation of the Vote
Center model in the most efficient and cost effective method, The resulting voting system
solution will allow the county to offer voters increased voting opportunities.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The Registrar provided initial costs estimates at the Board's June 6, 2017 meeting. At that time,
the cost for a Vote Center model solution was estimated to be $4,425,000 for the first year of a
purchase agreement and $1,100,000 for the first year of a lease agreement. Responses received
from the successful vendors included costs for the first year implementation and an additional
four years of support. Below is a table showing the purchase and lease costs for these systems as
proposed. First year costs are approximately $2.43 million to purchase all the components
necessary to replace the current voting system, meet current Election Code, and support 80 Vote
Centers. First year costs to lease the same components are approximately $650,000.
Comparison of Proposed Costs
Purchase versus Lease
Years: Purchase Lease
1 $2,432,000 $646,000
2 384,000 629,000
384,000 629,000
4 384,000 629,000
384,000 629,000
Total: $3,968,000 $3,162,000
The Purchasing Agent, working in collaboration with the County Executive or his designee, the
Registrar of Voters and the Chief Information Officer, will evaluate the best value for each
contract, comparing purchase and lease options where appropriate. The actual annual costs of
the contracts will be determined following contract negotiation and development with each
vendor.
VRE's Fiscal Year 2017-18 budget includes $1.1 million in funding for acquisition of a voting
system, which can be offset by using VRE's HAVA funds. With the proposed costs coming in

Page 7
lower than estimated in the June 6, 2017 board letter, the remaining HAVA funds and the
County's technology reserves are sufficient to fund years two through five for these contracts.

County
Subject:TERMINATE the emergency action and ACCEPT contracted work as complete for the Morgan Territory Road Slide
Repair Project, Clayton area.
BACKGROUND:
On March 7, 2017, the Board of Supervisors, pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22035 and 22050,
declared an emergency and authorized the Public Works Director to proceed in the most expeditious
manner to repair Morgan Territory Road approximately 1 mile south of Marsh Creek Road.
The repair work required the installation of two structural retaining wall systems, excavation and backfill of
embankment between the wall systems, reconstruction of pavement, drainage improvements, and pavement
striping.
Public Works Department used the professional firm of Quincy Engineering, Inc., to prepare the repair
design. On April 18, 2017, Quincy Engineering, Inc. approved the repair plans, special provisions, and
engineer’s estimate. On April 20, 2017, the Public Works Department Deputy Public Works Director Mike
Carlson, approved the plans for the project and requested prices for the necessary equipment, services, and
supplies to perform the emergency repair project as expeditiously as possible. The resulting price quotes
were received on May 23, 2017. On June 1, 2017, the Public Works Director signed a construction contract
with Flatiron West, Inc. to perform the emergency repair work.
The emergency repairs began on July 17, 2017 and were substantially completed and Morgan Territory
Road was opened to public traffic on November 18, 2017. During the construction period, Morgan
Territory Road was closed at the slide site and local traffic used a temporary access on Leon Drive through
the Marsh Creek Detention Facility driveway. The Public Works Director signed an agreement, “License
Agreement for Temporary Use of Private Road (Leon Drive)”, with each owner of Leon Drive for public
use of the private road as needed for the duration of the construction phase of the emergency repairs. On
November 18, 2017, the Leon Drive temporary access was closed to public traffic.
The temporary detour road on Leon Drive was repaved on December 1, 2017 in accordance with the signed
License Agreement. The County utilized the existing contract with Granite Rock Company to repave Leon
Drive. The existing bridge on Leon Drive was inspected on December 7, 2017 by County’s Consultant to
determine whether any damage occurred to it during its use by the County as a temporary detour and public
access in accordance with the signed License Agreement.
As a result of the structural inspection and subsequent recommendations contained in report entitled
“Bridge Inspection Memorandum” dated January 9, 2018 by Quincy Engineering, Inc., County
Maintenance crews will install minor repairs to the structure including sealing hairline cracks in the support
structure and installing minor repairs to the concrete deck.
The Public Works Director reports that the Morgan Territory Road slide repair work has been inspected and
complies with the approved plans, special provisions and standard specifications and recommends its
acceptance as complete as of December 28, 2017.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Contractor and sub-contractors will not receive full payment and project acceptance notification will not be
recorded.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the conveyance of Contra Costa County property rights located in Imhoff
Road right of way in the vicinity of Highway 4 (SR4) and the I-680/SR4 Interchange in Martinez to the
State of California, Department of Transportation (State), identified in Exhibit “A” of the Easement Deed
(State Parcel No. 63157) attached hereto pursuant to Government Code Section 25526.6 (Project No.
0676-6P0040) and;
FIND that the Real Property transaction between Contra Costa County (County) and the State, under the
threat of condemnation, are ministerial acts and are therefore statutorily exempt from CEQA, pursuant to
the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15268 and;

Subject:APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE TERMINATION OF LEASE AGREEMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH

policies. In addition, by recovering possession of the properties, the Airport will be able to make both
premises available to other interested tenants.

FISCAL IMPACT:
Senate Bill 595 requires the Bay Area Toll Authority use toll revenues to reimburse Contra Costa County
for the incremental cost of submitting Regional Measure 3 to the voters via a special election.
Reimbursement of only the incremental costs will not mitigate any fixed costs of conducting the election,
such as equipping and staffing polling places, which are customarily charged to and shared by all agencies
participating in an election.
If Regional Measure 3 is approved by the voters, the resulting revenues will provide benefit to Contra Costa
County through transportation projects and programs defined in Senate Bill 595's Expenditure Plan.

Subject:Call for a Special Election Regarding Regional Measure 3 (Bay Area Traffic Relief Plan) Asking Voters to Approve
Bridge Toll Increases
BACKGROUND:
If approved by a majority of voters in the counties of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Mateo,
Santa Clara, Solano and Sonoma as well as the City and County of San Francisco, Regional Measure 3
would raise tolls on the Antioch, Benicia-Martinez, Carquinez, Dumbarton, Richmond-San Rafael, San
Francisco-Oakland Bay and San Mateo-Hayward bridges by $1 on January 1, 2019, by an additional $1
on January 1, 2022 and by an additional $1 on January 1, 2025 to finance the transportation expenditure
plan detailed in Senate Bill 595 (Beall, 2017), enacted in October 2017.
Regional Measure 3 (RM 3), authorized by SB 595 (Beall, 2017), is the third regional toll increase
measure to be considered by San Francisco Bay Area voters. Pursuant to California Streets & Highways
Code Section 30923, after the Bay Area Toll Authority selects a date to place RM 3 on the ballot, the
board of supervisors in each county must call a special election to do so.
The deadline for action by the Board of Supervisors is March 9, 88 days prior to the election.
Bridge Toll History
RM 1, approved by voters in 1988, established a uniform $1 base toll on each of the region’s seven
state-owned toll bridges, with the proceeds used to fund a series of highway improvements in the bridge
corridors. These include the new northbound Benicia-Martinez Bridge, new westbound Carquinez
Bridge, widening of the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge and the Bayfront Expressway at the west end of
the Dumbarton Bridge, reconfiguration of the I-880/State Route 92 interchange in Hayward and
construction of the Richmond Parkway connecting I-80 with the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge. All RM
1 projects have now been completed.
RM 2, approved by voters in 2004, raised tolls by $1 on the Bay Area’s seven state-owned toll bridges,
with the proceeds used to fund the Regional Traffic Relief Plan to finance highway, transit, bicycle and
pedestrian projects in the bridge corridors and their approaches, and to provide operating funds for key
transit services. Major investments include the Caldecott Tunnel Fourth Bore, I-80/I-680 interchange
upgrades in Solano County, State Route 4 widening and e-BART extension in eastern Contra Costa
County, BART extensions to Warm Springs/South Fremont and Oakland Airport, seismic retrofit of
BART’s Transbay Tube, and the Muni Central Subway and Transbay Transit Center projects in San
Francisco, as well as operating support for Muni’s T-Third light-rail line, AC Transit enhanced bus
service, All-Nighter bus service along BART corridors, San Francisco Bay Ferry, Golden Gate Transit
service over the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, Napa VINE service to the Vallejo intermodal terminal
and the Clipper® transit-fare payment card.
RM 3 Expenditure Plan Focused on Traffic Relief and Public Transit Improvements
The $4.45 billion RM 3 Expenditure Plan included in SB 595 aims to reduce traffic congestion and to
improve transportation options throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. These investments include both
highway and transit capital improvements as well as improved regional connectivity at the soon-to-open
Transbay Transit Center in San Francisco and operating support for enhanced bus and ferry services in
congested bridge corridors.
Major projects in the RM 3 expenditure plan include upgrading the I-680/State Route 4 interchange in
Contra Costa County; improving the westbound approach to the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge and the
I-580/ Richmond Parkway interchange in Contra Costa County; funding for transit improvements,
including, but not limited to, bus capital projects, including vehicles, transit facilities, and access to
transit facilities, benefiting the Counties of Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, and Contra Costa, Interstate
80 Transit Improvements including improvements to support expanded bus service in the Interstate 80
corridor including, but not limited to, bus purchases, expansion of the WestCAT storage yard and
corridor including, but not limited to, bus purchases, expansion of the WestCAT storage yard and
maintenance facility, fund implementation of the San Pablo Avenue Multi-modal Corridor, fund
construction of a new connector between Byron Highway and Vasco Road south of Camino Diablo Road
as well as shoulder and other improvements to the Byron Highway, funding for Vasco Road safety
improvements including the widening of lanes and construction of a concrete median barrier, fund the
East Contra Costa County Transit Intermodal Center, Interstate 680 transit improvements including bus
on shoulder, shared autonomous vehicles, expansion of BART’s railcar fleet to accommodate record
ridership and the system’s pending extension to Milpitas and East San Jose; further extension of
BART’s Silicon Valley service to downtown San Jose and Santa Clara; extending Caltrain to downtown
San Francisco; expanding transbay bus services and AC Transit’s bus rapid transit lines; constructing a
direct freeway connector from northbound U.S. 101 to eastbound Interstate 580 in Marin County,
constructing a direct connector between Interstates 680 and 880 in Fremont; upgrading the I-680/State
Route 84 interchange in Alameda County and the U.S. 101/State Route 92 interchange in San Mateo;
various upgrades to relieve congestion in the Dumbarton Bridge corridor and improve State Route 37 in
Marin, Sonoma, Napa and Solano counties; completing the widening of U.S. 101 to three lanes in each
direction through the Marin-Sonoma Narrows; extending the new SMART rail system to Windsor and
Healdsburg; expanding San Francisco’s fleet of Muni Metro rail cars; and adding more vessels to the
San Francisco Bay Ferry fleet.
The table below provides a summary and the detailed expenditure plan can be seen highlighted in yellow
in the attached copy of Senate Bill 595 (SB595_(RM3-BridgeToll)_FullText)
RM 3 also would provide $50 million for planning and preliminary engineering of a second rail tube
connecting the East Bay and San Francisco; and fund a $150 million grant program to improve bicycle
and pedestrian access to regional transit hubs and to close gaps in the San Francisco Bay Trail. In
addition, the measure includes a provision to establish an Inspector General position to oversee BART’s
capital investments.
Toll Discounts
Voter approval of RM 3 would allow the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA) to retain the current toll
discount for high-occupancy vehicles, and to introduce new discounts for:
Vehicles that cross two or more toll bridges during commute hours, including carpoolers. Such vehicles
would receive a 50 percent discount on the RM 3 increment of the second toll. For example, after tolls
are raised by $1 in 2019, a commuter would pay 50 cents on the second trip rather than $1 for the RM 3
portion of the toll. To be eligible for this discount, tollpayers must use FasTrak® to pay their tolls.
Oversight
RM 3 includes a number of oversight provisions:
1) A Citizen Oversight Committee
Modeled on the approach taken in local counties’ dedicated transportation sales tax
measures, RM 3 requires establishment of an independent oversight committee to
ensure that all spending is consistent with the Expenditure Plan. County supervisors
in each of the nine Bay Area counties would appoint two representatives to this
committee.
2) Performance Measures
Prior to allocating funds to bus or ferry services, MTC will develop ridership targets
or other performance measures to help ensure tolls are used cost-effectively and to
highlight the need for service adjustments if operating performance falls short of
these guidelines. A similar requirement existed for RM 2 and led to changes in
service and the elimination of certain routes that did not attract sufficient riders to be
cost-effective.
3) Office of BART Inspector General
Approval of RM 3 would establish an independent Office of the BART Inspector
General to ensure BART uses bridge toll funds and other revenues efficiently and
effectively.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the recommended action is not taken, 1) Regional Measure 3 will not appear on the ballot, 2) the Bay
Area effort to bring a bridge toll increase to the June 2018 election will be compromised, and 3) the
County may be in violation of Streets and Highways Code Section 30923 (c)(1)(b) which requires the
special election.

SB 595, Beall. Metropolitan Transportation Commission: toll bridgerevenues: BART Inspector General: Santa Clara Valley TransportationAuthority: high-occupancy toll lanes.(1) Existing law creates the Metropolitan Transportation Commission(MTC) as a regional agency in the 9-county San Francisco Bay area withcomprehensive regional transportation planning and other relatedresponsibilities. Existing law creates the Bay Area Toll Authority (BATA)as a separate entity governed by the same governing board as MTC andmakes BATA responsible for the programming, administration, andallocation of toll revenues from the state-owned toll bridges in the SanFrancisco Bay area. Existing law authorizes BATA to increase the toll ratesfor certain purposes, including to meet its bond obligations, provide fundingfor certain costs associated with the bay area state-owned toll bridges,including for the seismic retrofit of those bridges, and provide funding tomeet the requirements of certain voter-approved regional measures. Existinglaw provided for submission of 2 regional measures to the voters of 7 bayarea counties in 1988 and 2004 relative to specified increases in bridge autotolls on the bay area state-owned toll bridges, subject to approval by amajority of the voters.This bill would require the City and County of San Francisco and theother 8 counties in the San Francisco Bay area to conduct a special election,to be known as Regional Measure 3, on a proposed increase in the amountof the toll rate charged on the state-owned toll bridges in that area to beused for specified projects and programs. The bill would require BATA toselect the amount of the proposed increase, not to exceed $3, to be placedon the ballot for voter approval. If approved by the voters, the bill wouldauthorize BATA, beginning 6 months after the election approving the tollincrease, to phase in the toll increase over a period of time and to adjust thetoll increase for inflation after the toll increase is phased in completely.Thebill would specify that, except for the inflation adjustment, providing fundingto meet the requirements of voter approved regional measures, and as

otherwise specified in statute, the toll increase adopted pursuant to the resultsof this election may not be changed without the statutory authorization ofthe Legislature. By requiring this election, the bill would impose astate-mandated local program. The bill would require BATA to reimbursefrom toll revenues, as specified, the counties and the City and County ofSan Francisco for the cost of submitting the measure to the voters.This bill would require BATA to establish an independent oversightcommittee within 6 months of the effective date of the Regional Measure3 toll increase with a specified membership, to ensure the toll revenuesgenerated by the toll increase are expended consistent with a specifiedexpenditure plan. The bill would require BATA to submit an annual reportto the Legislature on the status of the projects and programs funded by thetoll increase.(2) Existing law authorizes BATA to vary the toll structure on each ofthe bay area state-owned toll bridges and to provide discounts for vehiclesclassified by BATA as high-occupancy vehicles.This bill would additionally authorize BATA to provide discounts forvehicles that pay for tolls electronically or through other non-cash methodsand to charge differential rates based on the chosen method.This bill, with respect to the Regional Measure 3 toll increase, wouldrequire BATA to provide a 50% discount on the amount of that toll increaseon the 2nd bridge crossing for those commuters using a two-axle vehicle,who pay tolls electronically or through other noncash methods and whocross 2 bridges during commute hours, as specified.Existing law, if BATA establishes high-occupancy vehicle lane feediscounts or access for vehicles classified by BATA as high-occupancyvehicles for any bridge, requires BATA to collaborate with the Departmentof Transportation to reach agreement on how the occupancy requirementsshall apply on each segment of highway that connects with that bridge.This bill would instead require BATA to establish those occupancyrequirements in consultation with the department.(3) Existing law establishes the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid TransitDistrict (BART), governed by a board of directors, with specified powersand duties relative to the construction and operation of a rapid transit system.This bill would create the Independent Office of the BART InspectorGeneral within BART. The bill would provide for the board of directors tonominate 3 persons to the Governor and for the Governor to appoint one ofthose nominees to serve as the Inspector General for a 4-year term. The billwould require the Inspector General to be removed from office by the boardof directors, subject to the approval of the Governor, under certaincircumstances. The bill would specify the duties and responsibilities of theInspector General and would require the Inspector General to submit anannual report to the board of directors and the Legislature. The bill wouldprovide for the office to receive $1,000,000 from an allocation of bridgetoll revenue from BATA and, in the second and subsequent years ofoperation of the office, would authorize BATA to increase that amount, asspecified. The bill would make these provisions operative upon an
89
—2 —Ch. 650
affirmative vote to increase tolls on the bay area state-owned toll bridgespursuant to Regional Measure 3 or related provisions.(4) Existing law authorizes the Santa Clara Valley TransportationAuthority (VTA) to conduct, administer, and operate a value pricinghigh-occupancy toll (HOT) lane program on 2 corridors included in thehigh-occupancy vehicle lane system in Santa Clara County. Existing lawauthorizes a HOT lane established as part of this program on State HighwayRoute 101 to extend into the County of San Mateo as far as thehigh-occupancy lane in the County of San Mateo existed as of January 1,2011, subject to agreement of the City/County Association of Governmentsof San Mateo County.This bill would delete the authorization for a HOT lane to extend into thespecified portion of San Mateo County as part of a value pricing programestablished on 2 corridors in Santa Clara County. The bill would insteadauthorize VTA to specifically conduct, administer, and operate a valuepricing high-occupancy toll lane program on State Highway Route 101 inSan Mateo County in coordination with the City/County Association ofGovernments of San Mateo County and the San Mateo CountyTransportationAuthority, as prescribed.(5) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse localagencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutoryprovisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandatesdetermines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursementfor those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions notedabove.
The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(a) The San Francisco Bay area’s strong economy and growing populationare placing a tremendous burden on its aging transportation infrastructure.Between 2010 and 2040, the population is forecasted to grow by 2.3 million,while the number of jobs are projected to grow by 1.3 million.(b) Traffic congestion on the region’s seven state-owned toll bridgesdegrades the bay area’s quality of life, impairs its economy, and shows nosigns of abating. Between 2010 and 2015, combined volumes on the region’sseven state-owned toll bridges grew by 11 percent, while volumes on justthe Dumbarton Bridge, the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge, and the SanMateo-Hayward Bridge grew by 20 percent.(c) In 2015, five of the region’s top 10 worst congested roadways werein the South Bay (San Mateo or Santa Clara Counties).(d) In the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge corridor from Hercules toSan Francisco, weekday traffic speeds average less than 35 mph from 5:35a.m. until 7:50 p.m.
89
Ch. 650—3 —
(e) Weekday congestion on the west approach to the SanFrancisco-Oakland Bay Bridge in the eastbound direction typically beginsbefore 1 p.m. and continues until 9:30 p.m.(f) Weekday northbound traffic congestion on State Highway Route 101from Novato to Petaluma begins by 3 p.m. and typically lasts over threehours.(g) Daily peak-hour traffic on State Highway Route 37 between Marinand Solano Counties jumped over 40 percent from 2010 to 2015.(h) The region’s only rail link across San Francisco Bay, the Bay AreaRapidTransit District (BART), is 44 years old and faces multibillion-dollarcapital funding shortfalls to accommodate growing ridership and achieve astate of good repair. Meanwhile, BART ridership is at record levels,exceeding 128 million in fiscal year 2016, a 27-percent increase from fiscalyear 2010.(i) Annual ridership on ferries from Alameda, Oakland, and Vallejo toSan Francisco and South San Francisco more than doubled between 2010and 2016, from 1.1 million to 2.5 million.(j) Ridership on the weekday transbay bus service provided by theAlameda-Contra Costa Transit District rose 33 percent between 2012 and2016.(k) Truck traffic in and out of the Port of Oakland grew by 33 percentsince 2000 and contributes to worsening congestion on the region’s bridgesand roadways.An estimated 99 percent of the containerized goods movingthrough northern California are loaded or discharged at the port.(l) The last time bay area voters had the opportunity to approve newfunding for improvements in the bridge corridors was in 2004, when votersapproved Regional Measure 2, a $1 toll increase.(m) To improve the quality of life and sustain the economy of the SanFrancisco Bay area, it is the intent of the Legislature to require theMetropolitan Transportation Commission to place on the ballot a measureauthorizing the voters to approve an expenditure plan to improve mobilityand enhance travel options on the bridges and bridge corridors to be paidfor by an increase in the toll rate on the seven state-owned bridges withinits jurisdiction.SEC. 2. Article 7 (commencing with Section 28840) is added to Chapter3 of Part 2 of Division 10 of the Public Utilities Code, to read:

Whereas, Captain Vineyards is a family-owned and operated business, and Susan and Sal
Captain strive to produce the best grapes and most exceptional wines. As the first,

grow with their grapes and show that quality wine does not need to cause
environmental damage or exacerbate a drought; and
Whereas, the newly formed Lamorinda American Viticulture Area (AVA) shows that this region is exceptional
in its ability to produce unique grapes, and Captain Vineyards is at the vanguard of
producing the very best wines; and
Whereas, Sal’s philosophy is to bring the very best practices to the production of their
wines. His passion and focus is on getting every last grape to become the very best
product; and
Whereas, Susan and Sal are founding members of the Lamorinda Wine Growers
Association (LWGA). Susan has been on the board since inception in 2005 and
President from 2012-2014.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved that the Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County does hereby honor Susan &
Sal Captain as Moraga’s 2018 Business Persons of the Year.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
of Training and Staff Development Specialist assigned to its Personnel Office. Positions in this class are
primarily responsible for the design, assessment and implementation of training programs related to
employee development and organizational productivity. Duties and responsibilities include planning,
developing, organizing, evaluating and conducting training courses in a variety of subject matter areas
for groups and individualized plans to improve employee effectiveness. Incumbents assigned to the
positions are privy to highly sensitive and confidential personnel matters.
The Department has relied on two employees to deliver department-wide training that is outside the
scope of their classifications. Therefore, it is recommended to reclassify Senior Health Education
Specialist position #10080 and Administrative Services Assistant III position #13926 in order to classify
and compensate them appropriately.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the Department will continue to rely on staff who are not appropriately

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
reviewed the existing department-specific personnel officer classifications currently created and
designated to Health Services and Employment and Human Services departments. Given the
commonality of the duties across department, Human Resources recommends that a county-wide
classification be established to replace the department-specific classifications. This action consolidates
like classifications into one county-wide classification.
The Departmental Personnel Officer will provide large diverse county departments a single high level
personnel management position to oversee, plan, direct and manage the personnel program and
personnel staff responsible for employee relations, recruitment; selection; classification; compensation;
safety; executive, managerial, supervisory and organization development in their department. The
position will report to the department's deputy director or department head and serve as a member of the
department's executive team, and will provide advice to Department Directors, Deputy Directors, and
Managers on a full range of personnel, labor relations, staff development and training related issues.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the County will continue to unnecessarily expand the number of
classifications and will not have a county-wide high level personnel management classification to
oversee, direct and manage the variety and magnitude of personnel services and personnel staff, and to
provide advice to the Department's executive management personnel on issues pertaining to personnel,
labor relations, and staff development.

and focuses on the areas where direct service is most required: financial abuse, case management, and
counseling. The focus will increase justice for and safety of senior County residents. EAPP will also allow
the County to put in place a common data collection tool to insure that abuse or suspected abuse allegations
are handled in a more coordinated fashion. EAPP will provide a platform to raise awareness in the
community, helping all service providers to better identify and respond to cases of elder abuse. Program
objectives include: an increase in identification and resolution of elder financial abuse; an increase in the
safety of elder victims of abuse; an increased provider understanding of forms of elder abuse; and an
increase in community awareness and understanding of elder abuse.
Additional grant funding has been made available by the California Governor's Office of Emergency
Services for the continuation of EAPP services to the elder population in Contra Costa County.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Without funding, programs designed to bridge the gap in services addressing elder abuse could be hindered.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Acting as the Governing Board of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, APPROVE and
AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to accept grant funding from the Andeavor Foundation in an
amount not to exceed $25,000 for the purchase of hazardous multi-gas detection equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Andeavor Foundation Grant. No local agency matching funds required.
BACKGROUND:
In recent years, the fire service has recognized the need for engine company carbon monoxide (CO)
detection. CO, a by-product of incomplete combustion, has always existed. However, as energy efficiency
has become more important, houses and offices have become tighter and the potential for CO build-up has
increased. The number of CO calls has outstripped the ability of our Hazardous Materials teams to respond
to each call, so fire engine companies have often been tasked with and given the assets to do CO detection.
Additionally, the equipment can detect flammable atmospheres, lower explosive limits, oxygen deficient or
enriched atmospheres, as well as hydrogen sulfide or sewer gas. All of which can pose serious hazards to
first responders.
With the support from Andeavor Refinery’s community service grant, the Contra Costa County Fire
Protection District can purchase the following equipment to help support the air monitoring program.

RECOMMENDATION(S):

BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Office of the Sheriff-Forensic Services Division (FSD) will use monies from the
Office of Traffic Safety Grant FFY2019 to purchase a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
(LC-MS/MS) instrument. The FSD is an accredited crime laboratory providing forensic services to more
than 20 law enforcement agencies in the County. The LC-MS/MS instrument will enable the laboratory to
provide more meaningful information on driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) and drug facilitated
sexual assault (DFSA) cases without the need for outside testing. Currently, the toxicology unit does not
have the equipment to keep pace with current and future legislation and drug trends. On January 1, 2014,

County
Subject:State of California Office of Traffic Safety Grant
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
(Sections 23152 and 23153 of the Vehicle Code) went into effect. With the prevalence of drivers driving
under the influence on California roads and highways rising, these changes were implemented in efforts
for law enforcement to identify and ultimately increase the prosecution of drug impaired driving cases.
The section (e) that became operative on January 1, 2014 makes it unlawful for a person who is under
the influence of any drug to drive a motor vehicle; this not only includes illegal narcotics and stimulants,
but also even legal prescriptions, herbs, and over-the-counter drugs. In November 2016, California
passed Proposition 64 (Adult Use of Marijuana Act) that allows adults age 21 and over to possess,
transport, purchase, consume and share up to one ounce of marijuana and eight grams of marijuana
concentrates. It is anticipated there will be an influx of marijuana analysis requests for “DUID” cases.
Recently there has been increased forensic and public safety interest in newer or “emerging drugs”
inclusive of “bath salts”, synthetic cannabinoids and fentanyl analogs; a LC-MS/MS would enable the
crime laboratory to increase the variety of drugs that can be tested. This information will provide a
comprehensive report to police agencies and the District Attorney’s Office for prosecution purposes.
The project objectives include: (1) purchase and installation of new LC-MS/MS instrument hardware
and software which will be supported by the manufacturer (2) installation of a Nitrogen generator to be
used with the LC-MS/MS instrument. The anticipated outcomes of the LC-MS/MS instrumentation
include: (1) providing more meaningful information on driving under the influence of drugs (DUID)
and drug facilitated sexual assault (DFSA) cases to law enforcement (2) increasing the variety of drugs
tested at the crime laboratory.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The crime laboratory currently provides limited toxicology analysis which does not meet the needs of
client agencies. The current instrumentation is not adequate for current legislation related to driving
under the influence of drugs or potential per se drug laws in the future. The unit is limited in the scope
of drugs that can be tested due to inadequate instrumentation. To meet the needs of law enforcement
agencies, many requests for analysis must be sent to an accredited outside laboratory. Any analysis
performed by an outside laboratory creates an increased burden and cost to Contra Costa County law
enforcement agencies and the District Attorney’s Office if the case is prosecuted.

None.

Selected Non-profits
BACKGROUND:
On June 20, 2017, The County Board of Supervisors approved a 2017/2018 North Richmond Mitigation
Fee (NRMF) Expenditure Plan, which was subsequently approved by the Richmond City Council in early
July 2017. On September 26, 2017, an Amended 2017/2018 NRMF Expenditure Plan was approved by
both the Richmond City Council and County Board of Supervisors. The Amended Expenditure Plan
allocates a total of $143,089.34 within Strategy 9 for the administration and disbursement of funding to five
(5) non-profit entities to complete six (6) Community-Based Projects. The non-profit organizations
awarded funding are based on a Request for Proposals (RFP) solicitation process conducted in early 2016.
The Amended 2017/2018 NRMF Expenditure Plan allocates up to $109,671.47 for disbursement to five (5)
non-profit entities for six (6) projects, up to $6,000 for County administration (County staff time not part of
this contract), and up to $27,417.87 for CHDC to assist the County with the administration and
disbursement of funds to selected non-profit entities. This contract would authorize CHDC to be paid up to
$27,417.87 to assist the County with the administration and disbursement of up to $109,671.47 to five (5)
non-profit organizations awarded funding for a total of six (6) projects within Strategy 9 for a total contract
amount not to exceed $137,089.34.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The five (5) non-profits entities awarded funding for their selected projects and CHDC would not receive
NRMF funding to address illegal dumping and blight in the North Richmond community.

that support the Epic Electronic Health Records (EHR) and other healthcare related software for the entire
HSD. IBM and Lenovo provide support for Health Services servers to correct defects and functionality
issues pursuant to the IBM Master Services Attachment and related Statements of Work.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Purchase Order and agreements are not approved, HSD will not have the necessary support in place.
The servers contain Epic EHR data, and could result in the inability to access and possible loss of patient
information for the entire Health Services department; causing patient care issues and emergencies.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Health Services Director,
an amendment to Purchase Order #F47494 with Werfen USA, LLC., to increase the payment limit by
$100,000 for a new payment limit of $513,275 for purchase of the ACL TOP 500 analyzer and supplies and
reagents for the clinical laboratory at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC), with no change
in the original term of May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2018.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.
BACKGROUND:
The CCRMC Clinical Laboratory needs to upgrade the ACL TOP analyzer and also needs to purchase
supplies and reagents for the analyzer. The Health Services Department uses the analyzer to perform
various tests for CCRMC patients. The current analyzer was purchased back in 2006 and is now past its
useful life.

Subject:Amendment to Purchase Order with Werfen USA, LLC
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this amendment is not approved, the CCRMC Clinical Laboratory will have to continue to use the
existing analyzer. This analyzer was purchased back in 2006, which puts the laboratory at risk for increased
downtime due to its age. The new analyzer requires less intervention by the Clinical Laboratory Scientist.

DM9600 for the clinical laboratory at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) and Health
Centers.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I budget.
BACKGROUND:
The clinical laboratory needs to purchase the CellaVision DM9600 in order to process blood smears and
body fluids. This analyzer helps automate the digital workflow for cell morphology for increased
efficiency. The current machine is out-of-date and needs to be upgraded. It was decided to purchase rather
than lease the equipment because the vendor is also providing three more analyzers at no cost, resulting in a
savings of approximately $250,000, and providing reagents at a discounted price.

Date:February 13, 2018
Contra
Costa
County
Subject:Gemalto Cogent Inc.
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
has established the Remote Access Network (RAN), which is a uniform statewide network of equipment
and procedures allowing local law enforcement agencies direct access to the Cal-ID System. The Contra
Costa County local RAN board determines the placement of RAN equipment within the County, and
coordinates the acceptance, delivery, and installation of RAN equipment. Acting as the local RAN board,
mobile fingerprint identification hardware has been distributed to local law enforcement agencies within the
County pursuant to the criteria specified in the Penal Code. Under the proposed contract, a dedicated
support engineer will provide to Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office and its client agencies high
availability of support for the Cogent Automated Fingerprint Identification System (CAFIS), the mugshot
server, Latent Gateway, WebID, 31 Livescans, and the 350 Mobile ID devices throughout the county. A
dedicated support engineer will provide continuity to the support needs, develop more personalized
technical support relationships with users, perform proactive maintenance to reduce technical problems and
downtimes minimizing disruption to the daily business for the law enforcement officer.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Office of the Sheriff is not allowed to contract with Gemalto Cogent for the dedicated support
engineer, Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office and its client agencies will experience support engineers
that are not familiar with the configurations and components of our systems which slows the support
response. In addition, Contra Costa County and its agencies vie for support time with the Gemalto Cogent
support engineers with many other counties and police departments throughout Northern California.
Delayed support response can translate into the inability to identify unknown subjects on the street with
Mobile ID or the inability to capture fingerprints at booking facilities with a Livescan for mandated
reporting to the California Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigations. The delay to fix
failures of the aforementioned systems could lead to the release of subjects on the street or from booking
facilities because they have not been identified and may be wanted for a more serious offense under another
name. In addition, the lack of ability to identify an arrested subject may detain an individual that is not the
person sought in a warrant or an investigation.

all cities except for Antioch, Concord, Pittsburg, and Walnut Creek) and the HOME Consortium area (the
Urban County and all cities). The Department of Conservation and Development received 13 applications
requesting approximately $11.8 million ($3.0 million in Community Development Block Grant funds and
$8.8 million in HOME Investment Partnerships Act funds).
The AHFC met on January 29, 2018, to consider staff's recommendation for the St. Paul's Commons
project. The meeting was attended by approximately ten people representing various non-profit agencies,
including applicant's staff and the general public. After questions and discussion, the AHFC recommended
$1,600,000 in FY 2018/19 HOME funds to the St. Paul's Commons project. This project has an allocation of
nine percent low income housing tax credits (LIHTC) and is required to close all financing and start
construction by April 2, 2018. Due to the urgency of the application, it was considered separately from the
remaining applications. Funding recommendations for the remaining applications will be discussed at a
future AHFC meeting and forwarded to the Board on May 8, 2018, along with the other non-housing
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) recommendations as part of the FY 2018/19
CDBG/HOME Annual Action Plan.
St. Paul's Commons
Resources for Community Development (RCD), in partnership with St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, is
proposing to develop St Paul’s Commons, which involves the new construction of a 45-unit affordable
housing development on a 0.64-acre site in Walnut Creek. St Paul’s Commons will target households with
incomes ranging from 30 percent to 60 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). The development will
include 30 studios, 14 one-bedroom units, and a two-bedroom unit for the resident property manager. The
development will also include a property management office, a community center, resident roof deck,
services office, shared computer terminals for residents, bike parking, and a laundry room.
The community center will comprise approximately 7,000 square feet of the total development and will
function primarily as a public facility that will house the Trinity Center to provide a non-residential and
non-sectarian day program serving homeless and working poor men and women in Walnut Creek and
Central Contra Costa County. The Trinity Center will occupy approximately 72 percent of the community
center’s floor area. The project site is near to Walnut Creek’s downtown and within walking distance of the
Walnut Creek BART Station.
The property is owned by St Paul’s Episcopal Church and it intends to lease the site to RCD after
construction at a below market rate. RCD will then lease back the community center space to St. Paul’s
Church at a nominal, triple net rent amount. In turn, St. Paul’s Church will lease approximately 4,990
square feet to Trinity Center for its operations of the day services to homeless persons. Trinity Center
currently operates a day services program to homeless individuals on Church property and will continue its
programs in the new community center.
RCD was previously awarded $800,000 in FY 2016/17 CDBG funds and $200,000 in FY 2017/18 CDBG
funds for the tenant improvements of the community center/public facility. RCD was also previously
awarded $1,042,319 in FY 2017/18 HOME funds and $232,681 in Housing Opportunities for Persons With
AIDS (HOPWA) funds. The financing plan for the entire development includes Affordable Housing
Program (AHP) funds, City of Walnut Creek funds, and LIHTC. RCD was awarded LIHTC in the Special
Needs and/or Homeless set aside. Therefore 50 percent of the units will be reserved to individuals and small
families who are disabled, have a developmental or mental health disability, are survivors of physical
abuse, or are homeless or at risk of homelessness.
RCD put the St. Paul’s Commons project out to bid with the bids due on November 15, 2017.
Unfortunately, while some inflation was anticipated, the bids came at $3.4 million higher than RCD’s
Spring 2017 development estimate. In order to close the resulting budget gap, RCD pursued approximately
$1.0 million in construction scope reductions (“value engineering”) and additional funding from the City of
Walnut Creek, County, and private donations. With savings from value engineering, the remaining gap is
approximately $2.4 million. RCD has requested an additional $1.6 million in CDBG/HOME funds from the
County to assist in filling the budget gap.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not approve the AHFC funding recommendation, the St. Paul's Commons project will not
be able to move forward and meet the tax credit allocation requirement of closing financing and starting
construction by April 2, 2018.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute County Contract
Amendment Agreement #26-358-7 with Donor Network West, a non-profit corporation, effective February
1, 2018, to amend Contract #26-358-6 to add emergency preparedness obligations for both contracting
parties, with no change in the original term of November 1, 2014 through October 31, 2019.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This is a non-financial agreement.
BACKGROUND:
Under the National Organ and Tissue Donation initiative, hospitals must notify an organ procurement
organization of all deaths that occur in the hospital. In addition, hospitals must have agreements with organ
transplant centers, and tissue and eye banks to cooperate in the retrieval, processing, preservation, storage
and distribution of organ and tissue donations, to ensure that all usable organs, tissues and corneas are
procured from donors.

Subject:Amendment #26-358-7 with Donor Network West
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The California Transplant Donor Network provides 24-hour organ procurement services which include:
on-site assessment and evaluation of each potential organ donor for medical suitability; a skilled and
sensitive approach to each family regarding the option to consider donation; appropriate clinical
management of the potential donor to ensure optimum organ viability; and organ allocation in accordance
with national policy.
On February 10, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #26-358-6 with the Donor Network
West to provide services including participation in Medicare and Medicaid programs, participation in
obtaining broader access to various organs and tissues needed by surgeons and patients, and streamline the
donation process for the period from November 1, 2014 through October 31, 2019.
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #26-358-7 will add emergency preparedness obligations on
both contracting parties through October 31, 2019.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this amendment is not approved, the County will not be able to receive additional organ procurement
services from this contractor.
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE the list of providers recommended by Contra Costa Health Plan's Peer Review and
Credentialing Committee on January 9, 2018, and by the Health Services Director, as required by the State
Departments of Health Care Services and Managed Health Care, and the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Not applicable.
BACKGROUND:
The National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA) requires that evidence of Board of Supervisors'
approval must be contained within each CCHP provider’s credentials file. Approval of this list of providers
as recommended by the CCHP’s Peer Review and Credentialing Committee will enable the Contra Costa
Health Plan to comply with this requirement.

Bulletin includes the following addition under Section V. Pre-Employment Background Investigations:
"Positions engaged in direct services to protect children from abuse and neglect will include
broader screening, such as inquiries regarding whether they are or have been the subject of a
restraining order."
The master list of background screening requirements for each active County classification has been
revised to include this requirement. All candidates for positions requiring civil background screening
will, as part of the post-offer screening process, be asked the following question:
“At any time during the past 10 years, has a court issued a temporary, preliminary, or permanent
injunction or restraining order under Code of Civil Procedure 527 et seq., to restrain you from
harassing, intimidating, threatening, or injuring another person? If yes, please explain.”
Human Resources staff have been meeting with County departments to finalize the master list and
establish standards and procedures to meet the requirements of Administrative Bulletin 437.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The Administrative Bulletin will not include a civil background check requirement for positions that
work with children.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
The revised policy includes a civil background check requirement for positions that work with children

ATTACHMENTS
Administrative Bulletin 437 Employment Screening
For Information Only
I. PURPOSE
It is the purpose of this policy to promote consistency in hiring practices and appropriate,
job-related screening of finalists for County positions. Effective pre-employment screening
is intended to evaluate a finalist’s suitability for the particular position for which s/he is
being considered and to protect the safety and security of employees, clients, residents
and the public, and County assets .
II. AUTHORITY
In accordance with the provisions of Contr a Costa County Ordinance Code Section
24-4.008, the County Administrator has the authority and the responsibility to establish
and enforce personnel policies in County departments and agencies, including pre-
employment screening.
III. POLICY
It is the policy of Contra Costa County to consider all applicants for employment without
regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, ethnicity, age, disability, sexual
orientation, gender, gender identify, gender expression, marital status, ancestry, medical
condition, genetic information, military or veteran status, or other protected category under
the law.
As a condition of employment, finalists for full-time, part-time, extra help, contingent
workers (i.e. agency temporary employees), and temporary positions will be required to
successfully pass pre-employment background investigation, medical examinations, drug
screening, Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) license check/pull notice, or other
requirements that have been identified as appropriate for the position. Screening
requirements may vary by department and this policy does not supersede more specific
department pre-employment screening policies such as may exist in law enforcement,
public protection and health departments.
IV. RESPONSIBILITIES
The Human Resources Department is responsible for maintaining a master list of
background screening requirements for each active County classification. Human
Resources shall provide oversight, training and support to Department Heads and Human
Resource Liaisons about the County’s pre-employment screening policies and procedures
and appropriate standards to meet policy requirements .
Department Heads are responsible for ensuring compliance with all rules, laws, standards,
and policies applicable to their department. Department Heads shall inform Human
Resources of any new or revised legal mandates related to positions in their departments

so that these mandates may be incorporated into the master list maintained by Human
Resources. Departments with department-specific pre-employment screening policies will
ensure they are consistent with this Administrative Bulletin and will provide a current copy
to the Director of Human Resources.
V. PRE-EMPLOYMENT BACKGROUND INVESTIGATIONS
After receiving a conditional offer of em ployment, finalists for County employment will
undergo a fingerprint check and may be subject to a background investigation
depending on the job type. The specific components of the background investigation
will be limited to job-related and/or legally mandated investigations based on the nature
and duties of the position(s) sought. Post-offer, pre-employment background
investigations may include: criminal conviction history, verification of current and prior
employment, verification of academic credentials , verification of licenses and
certifications , credit history, driving history, and other inquiries that are determined to be
relevant for the job. Positions engaged in direct services to protect children from abuse
and neglect will include broader screening, such as inquiries regarding whether they are
or have been the subject of a restraining order.
Background investigations are conducted with the full knowledge and consent of the
finalist. Finalists will be provided with all rights afforded by, and all notifications required
under applicable State and Federal law, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)
(15 U.S.C. § 1681.), California Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act
(“ICRAA”) (CA Civil Code §§ 1786 et seq.), and the California Consumer Credit
Reporting Agencies Act (“CCRAA”) (CA Civil Code §§ 1785.1 et seq.), and will be
required to sign releases authorizing the background investigations . A refusal to sign a
release form will constitute a rejection of the conditional offer and will eliminate the
finalist from further consideration for employment.
Unless otherwise provided by law, having a criminal conviction history or negative result
from another component of the Pre-Employment Screening such as Department of Motor
Vehicles check, reference checks, public records search, on-line/social media search, or
civil case record search are not an automatic bar to employment. The nature and date
of any criminal conviction or negative result of the pre-employment s creening and its
relevance to the finalist’s suitability for the particular position, and whether the finalist’s
employment by the County poses an unacceptable risk will be considered on a case -by-
case basis. The Human Resources Department and appointing authority will evaluate
whether a sufficient job-related connection exists between the conviction or other
negative result, and the specific duties of the position in question. In making the decision,
the appointing authority will carefully consider the potential impact of the adverse
information on the safety and security of employees, clients, residents and the public,
and the security of County assets. Similarly, in those instances where a credit check is
performed for a position specified in California Labor Code Section 1024.5, having a poor
credit history may not necessarily preclude employment in and of itself, but will be
evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
VI. COST OF TESTING
The County shall bear the cost of all initial pre-employment s creening.
VII. PRIVACY RIGHTS
Privacy and confidentiality of all information obtained in the pre -employment screening
process will be adhered to in accordance with applicable state and federal regulations.
RECOMMENDATION(S):

County
Subject:Approve and Adopt Organizational Conflict -of-Interest Policy for Design -Build Projects
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
>
Organizational conflicts of interest can occur when, because of existing or planned activities or because
of relationships with other persons, a design-build project proposer is unable or potentially unable to
render impartial assistance or advice to the County, the proposer's objectivity in performing the contract
work is or might be otherwise impaired, or the proposer has an unfair competitive advantage.
The proposed policy provides that contractors and consultants participating as proposers to a
design-build project solicitation or joining a design-build team ("Proposers") may not have
organizational conflicts of interest.
Organizational conflicts of interest are circumstances arising out of a consultant's or contractor's existing
or past activities, business or financial interests, familial relationships, contractual relationships, and/or
organizational structure (e.g., parent entities, subsidiaries, affiliates) that results in (i) impairment or
potential impairment of a consultant's or contractor's ability to render impartial assistance or advice to
the County or of its objectivity in performing work for the County, (ii) an unfair competitive advantage
for any bidder or proposer with respect to a County procurement; or (iii) a perception or appearance of
impropriety with respect to any of the County's procurements or contracts or a perception or appearance
of unfair competitive advantage with respect to a procurement by the County (regardless of whether any
such perception is accurate).
The attached proposed policy sets forth situations under which an organizational conflict of interest
exists for the purposes of responding to a design-build project.
Under the conflict-of-interest policy, design-build project proposers must make a full written disclosure
to the County and have a continuing obligation to do so until they are no longer proposers.
If a Proposer determines that a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest exists, it must disclose
the conflict or potential conflict of interest to the County. Such disclosure will not necessarily disqualify
a Proposer from being awarded a design-build contract, however. The Proposer shall propose measures
to avoid, neutralize, or mitigate all potential or actual conflicts. The County, in its sole discretion, shall
determine whether the proposed measures are sufficient to overcome the conflict or potential conflict
and whether the Proposer may continue with the procurement process.
The proposed policy further provides that a successful Proposer to whom a contract is awarded has an
ongoing obligation to monitor and disclose its conflicts or potential conflicts of interest. The County has
the right to enforce the policy on an ongoing basis. If a new conflict of interest arises after contract
award, and Contractor's proposed measures to avoid or mitigate the conflict are determined by the
County to be inadequate to protect the County, the County may terminate the contract. If the contract is
terminated, the County assumes no obligations, responsibilities and liabilities to reimburse all or part of
the costs incurred or alleged to have been incurred by Contractor and is entitled to pursue any available
legal remedies.
Incorporation by Reference
The policy provides that it shall be incorporated by reference into and included as part of all County
Design-Build project Requests for Qualifications, Requests for Proposals, and the County’s
Design-Build contracts between the County and the successful Design-Build proposer.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Not approving these actions could make the County ineligible to use the design-build procurement
method for projects.

DISCUSSION HIGHLIGHTS
U.S.Economic and Market Overview
The S&P 500 broke records regularly in 2017 by a number of measures:the index posted a positive return for all twelve months of the year;the
number of consecutive days without a 3%drawdown reached a high of 289 trading days at year-end;and historically low readings on expected
volatility with the VIX-Index dropping to a record low of 8.56 on November 24,2017.After climbing 21.8%last year,the S&P 500’s return,
including dividends,has delivered an annualized rate of 7.8%since the pre-crisis peak of October 9,2007.
A host of positive circumstances fed bullish sentiment steadily throughout the year.The carrot that led the way came from tax reform legislation,
which finally came to fruition as the year closed out.The GOP’s determined efforts to rollback regulations also kept equity investors optimistic.A
friendly political climate for business,coinciding with a corporate earnings recovery,low interest rates and strengthening global economic growth,
helped to sustain enthusiasm.This put concerns that more typically would have dampened market appetite --climbing equity valuations,a
hawkish central bank and geopolitical tensions --on the back burner.
International equity markets,both developed and emerging,also enjoyed healthy returns as political stability prevailed and economic activity
ramped up overseas.Aggressive quantitative easing has been bearing fruit in Europe and Japan,where concerns about deflation are beginning
to subside and economic growth has surpassed expectations.A recovery in the demand for natural resources,partially driven by renewed growth
prospects in China,led emerging market stocks to their highest return since 2009.
U.S.investors in foreign equities also benefited from a weakening dollar with the Bloomberg Dollar Index declining 10.4%in 2017.Despite last
year’s strong performance,foreign stock indices in U.S.dollar terms have yet to best pre-crisis peaks.Much of the relative underperformance
versus U.S.stocks over the past decade stems from an expansionary economic cycle that has been far more robust domestically compared to
elsewhere in the global economy.2017 was the first year since 2012 that the MSCI EAFE or MSCI Emerging Markets indices outperformed the
S&P 500.This may indicate a change in narrative as renewed growth prospects overseas and cheaper valuations are attracting investor
attention.
At its core,the tranquility and prosperity of financial markets in 2017 was a manifestation of market friendly policies acting as a tailwind to
building momentum in the global economy.Entering 2018,the impact of outgoing monetary stimulus and incoming fiscal stimulus will remain in
focus domestically.While no equivalent historical comparisons exist for this type of environment,we expect that a slow moving Fed combined
with tax cuts,will further extend what is already one of the longest expansion cycles in modern economic history.Meanwhile,many foreign
economies find themselves in less mature stages of an expansion cycle,leaving even more room to grow,as accommodative monetary policy is
perpetuated.

Market Overview/Performance Discussion
Total Plan
The County of Contra Costa OPEB Plan returned 2.98%net of investment fees,in the fourth quarter,which slightly exceeded the County’s Plan
benchmark target of 2.90%.It was a disappointing quarter for the managers in the equity and fixed income segments as only seven of seventeen
managers outperformed their investment benchmark target.The strongest segment of relative outperformance came from the small cap equity
segment where the Undiscovered Managers Behavioral Value Fund (+5.55%)and the T.Rowe Price New Horizon Fund (4.66%)both bested the
Russell 2000 Index return (+3.34%).Another area of relative outperformance was the alternative manager segment,led by the AQR Managed
Futures.Both fixed income and the mid cap equity portions of the Plan matched benchmark returns,while international equity,global equity,
REIT Equity,and large cap domestic equity all lagged benchmark targets.In the face of disappointing managers performance,the very slight
outperformance at the Plan level can be attributed to an underweight allocation to fixed income,our modest allocation to emerging market equity
(MSCI-Emerging Market Index +7.44%),and positive contributions from the small cap equity and alternative manager segments.
Domestic Equity
Fueled by tax reform expectations and improved growth prospects,US equities climbed higher in the quarter.Growth outperformed Value for the
fourth quarter in a row as investors continued to be attracted to Growth’s more historically consistent earnings growth.After lagging slightly in the
third quarter,Large cap (Russell 1000 Index)outperformed small cap (Russell 2000 Index)by over 300 basis points.Consumer Discretionary led
the way up 9.7%as the tax plan would be more beneficial to full-U.S.tax paying companies as well as the U.S.consumer.Technology was up a
strong 9.0%given its superior growth expectations.Health Care and Utilities lagged but were still positive up 1.5%and 1.6%respectively.Health
Care performance was impacted by Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology companies due to a few select drug disappointments and modest growth
expectations.Higher interest rates were a drag on Utilities as bond yields began to be more competitive to dividend-yielding stocks.
Tax reform bolstered sentiment throughout the quarter with the lower rates providing an immediate earnings acceleration for U.S.companies with
the possible benefit to investors from share buybacks and dividend raises.Investors were also encouraged by the potential for increased
investment,consumption,and wage acceleration.With the market having continued to rise,investors have so far assumed that tax reform as well
as cross border flows from Europe and Japan monetary policies will offset the modest monetary tightening the Fed has planned.

Real Estate
For the sixth consecutive quarter,REIT equity was the weakest performing equity segment in the Plan,with the Wilshire REIT Index returning
1.70%.Net operating Income for REITs has steadily declined since 2Q2016.Industrial REITs and Data centers have shown strength,but
healthcare REITs,Malls,Strip Centers and Storage sectors have maintained declining growth trends,and the 2018 outlook does not look to be
any different.The low absolute level of unemployment should provide some support for REIT valuations.Employment trends are useful
indicators for Apartment,Hotel,and Storage REITs.Current estimates from Highmark call for 2-3 rate hikes from the Federal Reserve in 2018.
This will put additional headwinds on the REIT sector by increasing the financing costs,and by making fixed income investments more attractive
for income oriented investors.
The Vanguard REIT ETF returned 1.38%which ranked in the 70th percentile.

International/Global Equity
International equity markets,both developed and emerging,also enjoyed healthy returns as political stability prevailed and economic activity
ramped up overseas.Aggressive quantitative easing has been bearing fruit in Europe and Japan,where concerns about deflation are beginning
to subside and economic growth has surpassed expectations.A recovery in the demand for natural resources,partially driven by renewed growth
prospects in China,led emerging market stocks to their highest return since 2009.The MSCI-EAFE Developed market index was higher by 4.2%
for the quarter.Japan outperformed materially up over 12%as monetary stimulus continued to contribute to growth.Commodity producer
Australia was up almost 8%as commodities continued to rebound.The emerging market MSCI-EM index was higher by 5.6%The top
performers for the quarter included Argentina (+15%),Turkey (+12%),South Africa (+11%),and India (9%).
Synchronized global economic growth drove equity markets for the quarter.Purchasing Managers’Indices (PMI)across nearly all regions
reached new market cycle highs.Japan’s easy monetary policy led to continued improvement in the economy.Despite still low inflation readings,
price growth has slowly risen over the past few quarters.Economic growth held steady for the quarter while both manufacturing and retail sales
improved throughout the quarter.
Europe GDP,inflation,and retail sales data maintained their recent levels.The Markit Eurozone Composite Purchasing Managers’Index (PMI),
however,rose dramatically over the quarter and ended at 58.1 in December.The European labor market continued to tighten with the
unemployment rate at 8.7%for November 2017.We expect corporate profit growth to perform well given the constructive economic and
monetary policy backdrop.
China growth moderated modestly for the quarter.While PMI data improved slightly,Retail Sales growth hit the lowest levels in a decade.Other
metrics including electricity consumption and new credit were subdued.Nevertheless,GDP growth maintained its recent growth pace.
Overall,international markets remain attractive.Monetary stimulus and the economic improvement should lead to healthy corporate earnings
growth.With equity market valuations relatively more attractive than both the historical trend and in comparison to domestic markets,we continue
to overweight the asset class.

Fixed Income
The Bloomberg Barclays U.S.Aggregate Index gained 0.39%for the fourth quarter and 3.54%for the year as the US Treasury curve continued
to flatten and risk assets outperformed.For the first time since 2006,the Federal Reserve raised the fed funds rate three times in one year for a
total of 75 basis points,and short term Treasury yields followed the funds rate higher.Short term T-Bill yields finished the year 90 basis points
higher and the two-year added 70 basis points,but,oddly,the thirty-year bond yield declined by 33 basis points.As a result,the Treasury yield
curve flattened last year by more than 100 basis points from the 2-year to the 30-year.Since The County’s fixed income segment had a shorter
duration than the benchmark,this had a slightly negative impact on performance.In an environment in which the Federal Reserve raised interest
rates by the most in more than ten years and also began to reduce the size of its balance sheet,the best performance among Treasury securities
came from the longest maturity.As a result,the 30-year Treasury bond returned 3.0%for the quarter,while returns for all maturities shorter than
that were negative.For the full year,the 30-year bond gained 9.1%,more than quadruple the 2.1%return from the 10-year Treasury.

Fixed Income (Cont.)
On the positive side,the Plan benefitted from an overweight to corporate bonds,which outperformed Treasuries by +99 basis points in the fourth
quarter,the ninth consecutive quarter of positive excess returns.At year-end,investment-grade corporate bond spreads averaged only +98
basis points more than comparable Treasury securities,the tightest spread since July 2007,and well below the long term average of +160.When
comparing spreads over time it’s important to recognize the deterioration in credit quality,complicating the comparison.In July 2007,when
spreads were similar to today,35%of the corporate index was rated BBB,while today the BBB portion is 47%,resulting in an average quality
rating of A3 now versus A2 ten years ago.
Lower quality bonds outperformed for the year as BBB rated bonds returned 7.1%while AA rated issues returned 4.6%.Farther down the quality
spectrum,High Yield bonds returned only 0.5%for the quarter,but 7.5%for the year.Mortgage-Backed securities also contributed positively to
performance,outperforming comparable Treasuries by +52 basis points for the year.Among investment-grade corporates,the best performing
industries this quarter were Basic Industry,Energy,Transportation,and Utilities.Industries lagging included Consumer Non-Cyclical,
Technology,Capital Goods,and Banking.
As the new year begins,mild upward pressure on interest rates continues from both the monetary and fiscal policy fronts,resulting in the Plan
maintaining a slightly shorter duration than the benchmark.The Federal Reserve is planning to raise the fed funds rate at least three more times
this year,to a range of 2%-2¼%,while at the same time continuing to shrink their securities portfolio,currently running off at the rate of $20
•The Plan’s fixed income segment returned 0.39%in the quarter,which matched the Bloomberg Barclays Aggregate Index
return of 0.39%.
•The separately managed fixed income portfolio returned 0.31%which was below the benchmark.The portfolio would have
ranked approximately in the 51st percentile of the Morningstar Intermediate Term Bond Universe.
•The PIMCO Total Return Bond Fund posted a 0.11%gain in the quarter,which placed it in the 74th percentile of Morningstar’s
Intermediate-Term Bond Universe.The Fund underperformed the Index.
•The Prudential Total Return Bond Fund returned 1.11%in the quarter.This ranked in the 2nd percentile of Morningstar’s
Intermediate-Term Bond Universe and outperformed the benchmark.
•The Eaton Vance Floating Rate High Income Fund returned 0.93%in the quarter.

Alternative Investments
The alternative investment segment of the Plan returned 2.30%in the fourth quarter,which exceeded the Wilshire Liquid Alternatives Index
1.51%.The AQR Managed Futures Fund (+4.89%)was entirely responsible for the outperformance.Equity and commodity trends were the
drivers of the strong performance.Currency and fixed income investments were essentially flat in the quarter.Sustained trends in global equity
markets,as well as bullish trends in energy and base metals supported returns.Bullish energy trends were sustained throughout the quarter as
WTI crude oil inventories declined and as OPEC non-member partners agreed to extend supply cuts through the end of 2018.Base metal prices
also rose,spurred by strength in global growth data and Chinese supply curtailment due to environmental concerns.The Eaton Vance Global
Macro Fund (+1.08%)was aided by currency,sovereign credit and corporate credit investments.From a geographic perspective,Eastern
Europe and Asia were the Funds’best performing regions.Long positions in the Serbian Dinar and the Czech Koruna were additive to
performance.A short investment in the New Zealand Dollar was also beneficial.Detractors to performance included long interest rate exposure
to Mexico,a short to the South Korean Won,and a short position in oil futures.The AQR Equity Market Neutral Fund returned +0.87%in the
quarter,aided by long positions in financial and consumer discretionary stocks.The U.S.and the Netherlands were geographic strong points for
the Fund.A net short position in energy detracted slightly from returns,as the energy markets rallied in the quarter.
•The alternative investment segment returned 2.30%in the fourth quarter,which exceeded the Wilshire Liquid Alternatives Index
return of 1.51%.
•The AQR Managed Futures Fund returned 4.89%,and ranked in the 41st percentile of the Morningstar Managed Futures Universe.
•The Eaton Vance Global Macro Absolute Return Fund posted a 1.08%return,which placed in the 17th percentile of the Morningstar
Non-Traditional Bond Universe.
•The AQR Equity Market Neutral Fund return of 0.87%ranked in the 42nd percentile of Morningstar’s Market Neutral Universe.

Weighting
Cash 1.0%0.5%-0.5%
Fixed Income 38.0%36.75%-1.25%We forecast the Federal Reserve will raise the Fed Funds rate between two to three times in calendar year 2018.If the
Tax Reform Act spurs both economic growth and robust inflationary readings,the Fed may raise short-term rates even
more.Our year-end 10-year Treasury forecast calls for a range between 2.75%-3.25%at year-end,with inflation
being the wildcard influencing the range.Fixed income expected returns would be modest in this environment.
Alternatives 10.0%10.0%-A gradual withdrawal of monetary stimulus and improving economic conditions have led to a higher likelihood of rising
interest rates,thereby creating downside for bond prices.Alternative investments provide superior risk/reward
opportunities relative to cash and fixed income given the current low interest rate environment.
Real Estate (REITS)4.0%3.0%-1.0%While the backdrop for the REIT sector remain encouraging (low unemployment,GDP,positive consumer/business
confidence),a more aggressive Federal Reserve could put pressure on the relative attractiveness of the sector.REITs
are currently undergoing a downward revision in earnings for next year,due primarily to muted expectations in regional
malls and shopping centers.
Global Equity 7.0%7.0%-Global equities are supported by improving global economies, strong global PMI readings, and strong corporate
earnings. Issues surrounding trade barriers, mainly from actions involving the U.S., and global tensions in Korea will be
watched closely.
International (Developed)9.0%11.0%+2.0%Multi-year outperformance of domestic equities this cycle has led to an above average valuation premium compared to
international equities.The overweight to international equity markets is based on the attractive relative valuations
compared to the U.S.equity market and superior earnings growth potential driven by accelerating economic activity.
Ongoing ECB and BOJ QE programs are expected to support financial prices.
International (Emerging)0.0%2.0%+2.0%Emerging markets have performed well from a pick up in global trade and U.S.Dollar weakness.While these factors
may soften near-term,valuations are roughly within their long-term average levels which is attractive in comparison to
high U.S.market valuations.China is expected to hit their growth targets and the economies of many other countries
have stabilized.With valuation support and earnings growth potential,the allocation remains overweight.
Total Domestic Equity 31.0%29.75%-1.25%
Large Cap 17.0%17.25%+0.25 The strong performance of U.S.growth equities relative to domestic value equities has driven valuation spreads to well
above average levels.Signs of building economic momentum combined with the expected benefits from tax reform
should hopefully support lofty valuation levels.We expect 2018 S&P500 earnings to register between $150 -
$155/share
Mid Cap 6.0%4.5%-1.50%We continue to remain underweight based on valuation concerns,with the Russell Mid-Cap Index trading at a 18.5X
forward PE ratio.
Small Cap 8.0%8.0%-Valuations are at the upper-end of the long-term range.Tax legislation,should benefit small cap companies,offsetting
the higher valuation.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
REFER to the Public Protection Committee consideration of producing a Multi-Agency Juvenile Justice
Plan, as recommended by Supervisor Gioia.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The Multi-Agency Plan is Contra Costa’s sole opportunity to produce a robust and well-informed justice
plan for our county’s children. It is due to the state on May 1, as a condition of Contra Costa’s annual
funding through the Juvenile Justice Crime Prevention Act (JJCPA). For more the a decade, Contra Costa
has made minimal changes in its plan. This state-mandated annual multi-agency plan provides singular
opportunities for truly meaningful progress to support young people (including, for example, systemic
issues related to immigrant youth, disabled youth, cross-over youth, children of incarcerated parents, school
push-out, and racial justice).
It is recommended that the item be referred to the Public Protection Committee.
