SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ADOPT Resolution No.4056 approving the Risk Management Policy Statement of the Housing Authority of the
County of Contra Costa and AUTHORIZE execution of the statement by the Executive Director of the Housing Authority.
IL FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Housing Authority could forfeit a premium credit from its excess liability insurance carrier,Housing Authority
Risk Retention Group(HARRG),without the Risk Management Policy Statement.
Ill, REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
Housing Authority Risk Retention Group(HARRG),the Housing Authority's excess liability insurance carrier requires
a Risk Control Work Plan each year. The HARRG premium credit is based on submission of documents supporting the
implementation of risk control standards. For the 1998/99 insurance year,the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa
will receive up to a 15%premium reduction by submission an annual Risk Control Work Plan and adopting a Risk Management
Policy Statement.
As a part of the Risk Control Work Plan for 1998/99,HARRG is requiring that the Board adopt a resolution establishing Risk
Management as an operational priority. The attached Risk Management Policy Statement fulfills that requirement.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to adopt Resolution No.4056,the Housing Authority could be denied a
premium credit by HARRG for the 1998/99 insurance year.

RISK CONTROL POLICY STATEMENT
The safety and well being of the residents and employees of the Housing Authority of the
County of Contra Costa are of the utmost importance. Risk management procedures will
be established and maintained to ensure that the highest level of safety is provided for all.
It is the intention of the Housing Authority to provide safe and healthy living and
working conditions and to establish and insist upon safe practices at all times by all
residents and employees. Management considers no phase of operation or administration
as being of greater importance than accident prevention. It is the policy of the authority,
therefore,to provide and maintain operating practices which will safeguard',all residents,
visitors, employees and property,and result in safe living/working conditions and
efficient operations.
Risk control is an objective affecting all levels of the organization and its activities. It is,
therefor, a basic requirement that each supervisor make the safety of residents,visitors
and employees an integral part of his/her regular management function. It is equally the
duty of each resident and employee to accept and follow established safety regulations
and procedures.
