SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
That the County Administrator' s office come up with an
incentive program for County employees similar to the one
recently enacted by the City of Walnut Creek. And report
back to the Board in 3 weeks time.
BACKGROUND:
According to a story in The Contra Costa Times, Wednesday,
December 27 , 1989, the City of Walnut Creek, recognizing
that it would be necessary to provide attractive incentives
to get employees out of their cars, has come up with an
incentive program that has all the ear marks of a winner:
Starting in late January, any Walnut Creek city employee who
uses a commute alternative at least three days a week will
accrue a half-hour a week of paid leave. That could add
about 3 1/4 days a year of time off for complying employees.
Also, the city will set up a commute lottery, in which
employees can win as much as $250 for every 10 day pay
period.
The city will also offer a so-called guaranteed ride home
policy, which allows employees to use a city car or be
driven home by a city employee in case of an emergency.
The city will continue to provide a $15 discount bus or BART
pass for transit users.
