She explained that the shelters were crowded with DRAFT 4  Beth Ward presented the report. She explained that the shelters were crowded with an average length of stay at 30+ days, a 2:1 ratio of dogs to dog runs, and 12 dogs per ward rather than the more acceptable 6-9 dogs per ward. She highlighted some of the uses of the Animal Benefit Fund (ABF) during FY 2018/19, to supplement spay/neuter services provided by CBOs, to support the microchip program, and towards the Panda Gift program. She acknowledged that at the current rate of spending, the department would exhaust the ABF balance by the end of this fiscal year. The department plans to compensate for the funding gap with a combination of fee increases and staff assumption of some of the ABF services. The proposed fee increase, slated for public hearing on November 12, is expected to generate about $300,000 in additional revenue for the department. Vice Chair Andersen asked if Beth had explored establishing or partnering with a 501(c)(3) corporation or the Animal Rescue Foundation for tax deductibility of donations. Beth advised that contributions to the ABF, as a trust fund, are currently tax deductible. She noted that the department relies on about $100,000 in donations annually. The Committee requested Beth to present the annual report to the Board on November 5 and then return to the Committee in the Spring, once the new fees had been instituted, for further consideration.   7.ACCEPT report from the Office of Communications and Media Director on the County's current public outreach and engagement capabilities and future strategy.       Susun Shiu presented the report, highlighting 2019 accomplishments including the July 2019 launch of the new County website, creation of tax and permit portals, creation of a new landing page for the Board of Supervisors, and the addition of a "how do I?" help feature. She explained some of the goals of the new webpage design as being functional on a mobile device, offering many paths to the same information and opportunities to complete tasks beyond simply finding information. She reported more webpage visits and for longer periods of time. She noted that properly vetted emergency messages appear on the County webpage only during an emergency, and highlighted that the website experienced more than 140 million hits during the PG&E planned electricity outages. Susan also reviewed other OCM activities, including the Block Party, which brings a variety of services out to communities, and the addition of real-time closed captioning at Board of Supervisors meetings. She discussed how PEG Channels help to bridge the communication gap across the digital divide. She informed about the FCC Order 1980, which is stayed pending court action, but threatens to reduce cable franchise revenue that supports the OCM. She expressed appreciation for DoIT support of the dynamic online mapping function and for her staff upon the OCM's upcoming 25th anniversary. The Committee thanked Susan for her work and accepted the report. DRAFT 5 The Committee thanked Susan for her work and accepted the report.   8.ACCEPT report regarding advisory and independent body policies;1. DISCUSS whether all advisory bodies be required to post agendas online 96 hours ahead of their meetings and provide direction on the following issues:  Where should the agendas be posted: on their individual sites, on the Public Meetings Agenda Center, or are both options acceptable? a. When should this practice begin? Upon adoption or at a date certain, to allow lead time and training of county staff. b. 2.

Vice Chair Andersen stressed the need for, and importance of, having comprehensive advisory body policy summaries and training materials on the County's webpage, rather than having key information contained elsewhere in supporting reference documents. She also suggested adding a list of defunct bodies to the County website or resolutions, just for information, as there remains obsolete information about these bodies on the Internet. Specific to the guiding resolutions, the Committee provided the following direction:  Require, effective 90 days after adoption of the updated resolution, all County-governed advisory bodies to publish their meeting agendas 96 hours prior to a meeting date and via the County's Agenda Center. Require County departments to file all advisory body applications to bodies they staff with the Clerk of the Board, who maintains the official record for the Board of Supervisors. Require County departments and/or advisory bodies to support their transmittals to either the Board or any of its standing committees, of nominations for appointments, with copies of all advisory body applications that were considered in formulating the nominations. The Committee decided that each Board standing committee should decide annually which of the advisory body vacancies under its purview will be filled following either an interview by the Board standing committee or following a screening by the advisory body or a subcommittee thereof.   9.The November 11, 2019 meeting has been canceled due to the Veteran's Day DRAFT 6 9.The November 11, 2019 meeting has been canceled due to the Veteran's Day holiday. The next meeting is currently scheduled for December 9, 2019.   10.Adjourn    Chair Burgis adjourned the meeting at 11:45 a.m.        For Additional Information Contact:  Julie DiMaggio Enea, Committee Staff Phone (925) 335-1077, Fax (925) 646-1353 julie.enea@cao.cccounty.us DRAFT 7 INTERNAL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE 4.

Meeting Date:12/09/2019   Subject:Policy Regarding Policy Regarding Language Interpretation Services at Board of Supervisors Meetings  Submitted For: David Twa, County Administrator  Department:County Administrator Referral No.: IOC 19/13   Referral Name: Policy Regarding Language Interpretation Services at Board of Supervisors Meetings  Presenter: Jami Napier, Chief Asst Clerk of the Board Contact: Jami Napier, 925-335-1908 Referral History: Currently, there is no formal procedure or process for providing language interpretation services at the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors meetings. If a member of the public speaks at public comment and they are more comfortable speaking a language other than English, they historically have brought a language interpreter with them for assistance. Upon approaching the podium to address the Board of Supervisors, the Clerk doubles the speaker’s time in order to allow both the speaker, in his/her preferred language, and the English interpreter to address the Board of Supervisors. This method of interpretation is referred to as “consecutive interpretation”. Several County departments utilize language translation and interpretation services from one vendor, LanguageLine. For example, the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) has a contract for up to $1,250,000 to provide telephone interpretation, on-site interpretation, and document translation services. Additionally, other County departments, including the Conservation and Development, District Attorney, Health Services, and the Clerk-Recorder/ Elections Departments also use language interpretation services from LanguageLine. To better serve the residents of Contra Costa County and encourage public participation in Board meetings, the Chair of the Board of Supervisors requested a study and report on language accommodations for Board of Supervisors meetings in the other Bay Area counties. In September 2019, the Internal Operations Committee accepted a staff report on the prospect of providing language interpretation services at the Board of Supervisors meetings. The committee acknowledged that the services could not be implemented until staff relocates to the new Administration Building. In the meantime, the committee directed staff to conduct further research on the options that would be available and report back to the committee. The direction given to staff was to determine:  71 More information about the County’s experience with its current vendor, LanguageLine, including:  Whether the County would need to pay a retainer for services; The County Employment and Human Services Division (EHSD)’s experience with LanguageLine; The different methods of providing services – telephone, in-person, etc; and Alternatives to using the current vendor, including renting or buying multichannel translation equipment. Staff was also directed to obtain additional information from cities within Contra Costa County, specifically Richmond, Concord and San Ramon. And, finally staff was directed to identify next steps to prepare or draft a bid for services. Referral Update: County’s Experience with LanguageLine The County’s LanguageLine representative spoke in length with staff regarding the County’s current services and how best to incorporate the Board of Supervisors meetings. LanguageLine confirmed there would be no retainer for services. The Clerk of the Board of Supervisors would be invoiced only for services used. A new contract would not be required; LanguageLine will agree to add an addendum to address the Board of Supervisors meeting requirements. The terms and conditions would mirror the agreement the County has with EHSD. In addition to EHSD, the County departments of Conservation and Development, Clerk-Recorder/Elections and the District Attorney also use LanguageLine services.  Currently, County departments use a full suite of LanguageLine services: telephone, video, in-person and written services. The major Contra Costa County customer is the Medi-Cal / CalFresh call center, with EHSD face-to-face services at field offices being the second highest user of language access services. Video interpreting services are also used via an iPad at County offices. Like Skype services, video interpreting is an excellent way to provide American Sign Language (ASL) services. Contra Costa County uses the full contracted amount of funds from the LanguageLine contract annually. There is a 2-hour minimum for on-site services and the interpreter also gets reimbursed for gas mileage. Recall from our September report the LanguageLine costs for In-Person, On-Site Interpretation, with a two hour minimum for on-site services, and for Written Materials Translation with a $60 minimum: Language Line On-Site Service Prices Tier 1 – Spanish $60/hour Tier 2 – Standard Languages $60/hour Tier 3 – American Sign Language $70/hour Tier 4 – Rare Languages $80/hour Language Line Written Materials Prices Spanish $.19/word Cantonese & Mandarin $.24/word Tagalog $.25/word 72 As examples, (1) a Board of Supervisors meeting agenda is on average 26 pages; there are approximately 300 words per page for an agenda; the cost for a Spanish translation of a 7,800 words is $1,482.00; and (2) a discussion item board report can be from one to one-hundred pages long with 400-500 words on a page; a ten-page board report with 400 words on a page would cost $960.00 to translate. Purchasing or Renting Multichannel Translation Equipment Another option would be to purchase a translation system. Contra Costa County can purchase a multichannel translation system with an interpreter model. Headsets are included, with the average of 10 headsets per system. Systems range in cost from a $1,000 to $25,000 depending upon the brand, number of simultaneous languages, and number of receivers. Renting headsets may not cost-effective, and would require contracting with a vendor each time services are needed. City Experience Providing Translation Services Staff contacted the City Clerk departments of Richmond, Concord and San Ramon. The Senior Assistant City Attorney and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) coordinator for Richmond said the City doesn’t have a policy in place but is working on an Equal Access Ordinance. It is unclear if the ordinance will address language interpretation at council meetings or if it is more general. Currently, Richmond has the same practice as Contra Costa County where they double the time allowed for public comment when a non-speaker of English approaches the council in order to allow for time to translate to English. The City of San Ramon Deputy Clerk stated that they do not staff formal interpreters or translators at their City Council meetings. The City of Concord City Clerk said that while they have no formal policy, but they provide services as needed. Concord has a relationship with Monument Impact, a community-based nonprofit dedicated to “building skills, resources and power within immigrant, refugee and low-income communities in Concord”. When there is an item on the City of Concord agenda that may have numerous of Spanish-speaking public in attendance, the City of Concord hires an interpreter and borrows headsets from Monument Impact. The interpreter stands in the back of the Council Chambers and provides simultaneous interpretation to those members of the public that are wearing headsets. While this is not a formal policy, the relationship the City Clerk has with Monument Impact is a benefit to the public for their City Council meetings. As reported last September, the Chief Assistant Clerk of the Board conducted a survey of Bay Area counties and received responses from four local counties: Alameda, Marin, Santa Clara, and Solano. The four responding counties request a 72-hour advance notice for language interpretation services from individuals planning to attend a Board of Supervisors meeting. All four counties currently provide language accommodations in varying degrees, as summarized below. Contracts with Neighboring Counties: Overview and Administration The costs for services will vary with the breadth of the contract. Costs tend to be on an hourly or as-needed basis. Among the counties surveyed, there is a consensus that in person interpretation services have a two-hour minimum time length. All counties evaluated, with the exception of Santa Clara, have limited experience with translation services.  73 Alameda County Clerk of the Board, through administration, has contracts with two vendors and provides services in both American Sign Language and Spanish upon a 72-hour advance request. Marin County Clerk of the Board has one contract through their administration office and can provide translation services in both Spanish and other languages, also with a 72-hour advance request. Santa Clara County Clerk of the Board through their executive office has multiples contracts with translation vendors. The Clerk of the Board uses Mandarin, Spanish and other language translators. Solano County Clerk of the Board reports that they do not have a contract to provide language translation services, but citizens can request a Spanish translator with a 72-hour advance request. Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s): ACCEPT report update on further study of potential services and exploration of policies or procedures in Contra Costa cities. 1. DETERMINE whether there is enough information to direct staff to draft a policy or bid related to interpretation servicers, or if more research required. 2. Fiscal Impact (if any): Unknown fiscal impact. Attachments No file(s) attached. 74
