DATE: November 27, 1990
SUBJECT: Heating on the adoption of an ordinance to permit the county to employ
private entities or persons on a temporary basis to perform additional
subdivision map reviews.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
That the Board of Supervisors introduce Ordinance No. 90- 120 ,
which permits the county to employ private entities or persons on
a temporary basis to perform subdivision map reviews, waive reading
and set forth date for adoption of same.
BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS .
In April 1990, the Board expressed an interest in providing the
ability to 'accelerate the land development processing for those
applicants willing to pay additional fees.
Due to the cyclical nature of application submittals for land
development projects county staff is sometimes unable to process
applications as quickly as is considered desirable. Staff, at
best, remains constant and is often reduced for some period of time
through attrition and a delay in refilling the positions.
In order to provide the best service possible to applicants, staff
recommends approval of the Ordinance Authorizing Additional
Subdivision Map Processing Services.
The ordinance would allow the Community development Department to
contract with a private firm to provide project review ser ices 'n
a more rapid fashion that if processed by county staff.

ORDINANCE NO. 90- 120
AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING ADDITIONAL
SUBDIVISION MAP PROCESSING SERVICES
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors ordains as
follows (omitting the parenthetical footnotes from the official
text of the enacted or amended provisions of the County Ordinance
Code) :
SECTION 1. SUMMARY. This ordinance amends the County Ordinance
Code, pursuant to the authority found in the Subdivision Map Act
(Gov. Code, S 66451. 1(b) ) , to permit the County to employ private
entities or persons on a temporary basis to perform additional
subdivision map reviews.
SECTION 2. Section 92-10.006 is added to the Contra Costa County
Ordinance Code to read:
92-10.006. Map check by private entity: special checking fee.
(1) At the time a subdivider files an application for a
tentative subdivision map with the Community Development
Department, the subdivider may request that the Department
estimate the time required to check the map based on the
current workload and staffing level. If the subdivider
desires faster processing of his or her map, he or she may
request that the County contract or employ a private entity
or persons on a temporary basis to process the tentative map
and provide a recommendation for the decision-making body.
The County need not enter into such a contract or employ such
persons if it determines either that (a) no such entities or
persons are available or qualified to perform such services,
or (b) the Department staff would be able to perform such
services in a more rapid fashion than would any available and
qualified persons or entities.
(2) Any such entity or persons employed by the County
shall, pursuant to an agreement, perform all functions
necessary to check tentative maps and to comply with other
requirements imposed pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act and
this title, except those functions reserved by this chapter to
the Director of Community Development or the Board of
Supervisors, including the approval or denial of such maps.
(3) The subdivider shall pay a special premium fee in an
amount necessary to defray costs directly attributable to
employing or contracting with entities or persons performing
services pursuant to this section. The premium fee shall be
in addition to the application fees established by the County.
(4) The director of community development is authorized
to enter into and sign, on behalf of the County, agreements
with subdividers and with entities and persons to carry out
this section.
SECTION 3 . EFFECTIVE DATE. This ordinance becomes effective 30
days after passage, and .within 15 days of passage shall be
published once with the names of the supervisors voting for and
against it in the a newspaper
published in this County.
