a result of a higher required County match from.20%to 50%.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTIQN:
APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee,to EXECUTE a
ant amendment #29-128-1)to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission grant to fund the Keeping
Employment equals Your Success (KEYS)Auto Loan Program, to adjust the grant term from July 1, 2002
through June 30, 2005 to a new term of March 5, 2003 through to March 31, 2006, AND to decrease the funding
amount from $383,040 to $239,400 as a result of a higher required County match from 20%to 50%.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Grant now requires a County match of 50% of the total 3-year program cost of$478,800, instead of the 20%
required match originally anticipated. Total County match of$239,400 will come 100% from CalWORKS
funds (15% County, 85%Federal) and will be allocated as follows: $113,133 in year 1 (FY 2002/03); $113,133
in year 2 (FY 2003/04 budget); and$13,134 in year 3 (FY2004/05 budget).
RACKGROUND:
On September 24, 2002 (Item C.30), the Board of Supervisors authorized Employment and Human Services
Department(EHSD)to apply for and accept Metropolitan Transportation Commission(MTC) grant funding in
the amount of$383,040 to fund the KEYS Auto Loan program. The KEYS Auto Loan program was developed
by EHSD as a viable solution to some of the transportation issues of CalWORKS participants. The program
targets CalWORKS participants and other low-income residents who are not able to obtain an auto loan but
have clearly demonstrated a need for a personal vehicle as their only practical means of transportation. This
amendment will adjust the grant period due to delays in grant agreement execution. The new term of the grant is
March 5, 2003 through March 31, 2006. The required county match is also being increased from 20%to 50% of
the total program cost,resulting in a lower grant amount of$239,400 instead of the original anticipated amount
of$383,040. The County's match of$239,400 for the 3-year grant period will be funded by CalWORKS funds.

Imaging Application. The Department's first system was the Target Aims System. In 1993,
the Department changed to Ikon Data Image. The Department has since upgraded its
Information Systems to a 32-bit Operating System (Windows NT and Windows 2000)
supporting 32-bit applications. The Department has experienced problems integrating the
16-bit Imaging Application into our 32-bit Citrix environment. Staff have experienced
numerous errors that resulted in down time due to re-booting the workstations and the
server. Ikon Data Image has stated the best way to prevent these errors is to upgrade the
Imaging environment to their 32-bit Imaging System. The Department has also
experienced other flaws that the vendor has stated will be fixed in the next upgrade of their
software. The vendor has informed the Department that they will discontinue the support
of the version of their system that is currently installed. As a result of these issues the
Department has been forced to either upgrade the current imaging software or move to
another imaging system.
In August 2003 The Department requested qualifications from various imaging firms,
including the current vendor, and evaluated five Imaging vendors.
After receiving proposals the Department began negotiations to purchase a new system
(Laser Fiche), from L.R. Hines Consulting. On September 9, 2003, the Board authorized
the Director of Building Inspection to execute a contract with L.R. Hines Consulting.
However, a contract was not executed. During the interim period, the Department
reassessed its long-term needs, and decided to initiate a new Request For Proposals. The
Department's reevaluation of it's imaging needs coupled with an apparent contractual
dispute between Laser Fiche and L.R. Hines, induced the Department to initiate a new
RFP process The Department received seven proposals. Department Information
Technology staff ranked the proposals utilizing several criteria, including compatibility with
existing software, cost and ease of use.
Based on the total cost, responses from each vendor's customers and technical review by
department staff, the Department has decided to purchase the SIRE product from L.R.
Hines. This software will allow the Department to upgrade the Imaging environment,
reduce errors, improve efficiency, utilize Citrix to distribute the application to all users and
have more control over the underlying database.
The $70,000 cost of this project includes the installation of the software, data conversion
and maintenance for seven years.

PROPOSAL FOR STATE REPRESENTATION
This proposal is presented by Nielsen, Merksamer,Parrinello, Mueller and Naylor
("Nielsen Merksamer"), a law firm with extensive experience in the field_of governmental
advocacy. The firm's unique combination of legal, regulatory/administrative and legislative
expertise can be of great benefit to the County. Handling legislative, administrative and legal
issues directly affecting county programs,many with complex underpinnings, is a significant
part of the firm's practices. In particular,Nielsen Merksamer attorneys have amassed
considerable experience in presenting local government issues to the Legislature and state
agencies. Indeed, a significant number of attorneys in the firm have come directly from state
government itself.
We propose to provide a targeted advocacy program to address the priorities established
by the County. This representation includes addressing policy and budget issues before both the
Legislature and executive branches,providing legal analysis and advice concerning local
government issues, and assisting the County in developing a strategic program for achieving its
goals.
We recognize that use of firms with multiple clients represents a change from the
County's previous legislative program. We know that the County will require ongoing
communication and coordination with the county's executive office. We work in this capacity
with numerous clients, and are confident we can coordinate with county executive staff to
maximize the chances of achieving the goals of the County.
I. Business Profile and Description of Services
A. Proposed Internal Staffing Arrangement
Nielsen Merksamer approaches all of its client responsibilities as a team. Each and every
attorney in this firm is available to assist every client. Contra Costa County will be primarily
represented by Cathy Christian,who will be assisted as necessary by Jim Gross. They provide
the bulk of the representation for the firm's local government clients. We also anticipate
utilizing the expertise of Bob Naylor, who is currently active in local government issues on
behalf of a variety of clients, including the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
Additional legal and strategic advice will be provided, as necessary, by Steve Merksamer. In the
event that the County needs additional expertise, either before the Legislature or before selected
state agencies, Gene Erbin and Dick Martland are available to provide assistance.
B. Description of the Law Firm
Nielsen Merksamer is a law firm specializing in government and political law and related
litigation. We represent approximately 70 clients in the legislative and regulatory arenas in
Sacramento, including approximately 10 local government entities, "Fortune 500" companies,
labor organizations, health care interests, and various associations. We have substantial
experience in all aspects of the legislative process, having stewarded countless bills through the
Legislature over the last 18 years. Also,we work closely with a wide variety of state agencies,
-1-
solving problems and acting on opportunities for our clients. As a result of the breadth and
diversity of our client base,we are at the forefront of major issues ranging from health care and
worker's compensation to water policy and environmental matters. Moreover, our work on
behalf of these clients takes us directly into the intricacies of the budget process. Indeed, we
recognize the budget process as a critically important avenue for dealing with client interests.
Our firm prides itself on a thoughtful, substantive approach to lobbying,relying on our
legal and strategic skills as well as the credibility we have developed over the years. Nielsen
Merksamer provides both the expertise and the solid relationships necessary to bring continued
and additional success. Because the firm is comprised of Democrats such as Cathy Christian,
Jim Gross and Gene Erbin as well as Republicans such as Steve Merksamer and Bob Naylor, all
of whom have been active in politics and government for many years,we have excellent
relationships with both sides of the aisle. Our depth of experience in government law issues is
also important.
Because of the issues raised by our existing clients,we work with almost all of the
members of the Legislature and with most of the legislative policy committees on an ongoing
basis. We also have substantial experience in the budget process as it affects local government.
On behalf of local entities, we have been active in the fight to protect local revenues and avoid
additional mandates, and have also successfully lobbied bills concerning public safety, health
and welfare,redevelopment, and other local government concerns.
One of the cornerstones of our relationships with clients is our strategic development.
We not only advocate for our clients directly with the Legislature,we develop a strategic
legislative advocacy plan. We recognize that when we represent a county's interests before the
Legislature or a state agency, it is our responsibility to communicate the total picture with respect
to the unique problems of that county and its goals and concerns. We monitor all legislation
introduced each year, and have the capacity to keep our clients informed on a daily basis.
The firm has been successful in representing its clients in the budget process. In the last
several years, we have secured funding for a variety of programs and projects, including $3
million for a fire training center, $2 million for a foster care facility,reimbursement for
hazardous waste disposal costs,priority placement for hazardous materials clean-up, $3.5 million
for coping with sudden oak death, state funding for HIV resistance testing, and state subventions
to local government for certain immunizations. We have been able to include in budget trailer
bills various provisions allowing public agencies and private interests the ability to reduce costs
by restructuring their legal obligations. We have also utilized the trailer bill process to effect
changes in law that otherwise would have been delayed. We have also successfully pursued
allocations from state bond proceeds for a variety of conservation and environmental protection
and education projects. Although in these difficult budget times we do not expect that there will
be surplus state money for local governments, we believe that strategic planning may enable the
County to save money or to defend funds currently allocated more efficiently.

II. 2004-2005 Outlook for Counties
Given the tremendous difficulty the Legislature had this year in constructing and passing
a budget, and the forecast of the fiscal shortfall for the next few years, it is likely the challenges
facing counties in Sacramento in the next two years will be the most daunting ever. Candidly,
the easiest cuts and the internal borrowing have been done. The more difficult choices must now
be considered. Because counties and the state are inextricably linked, the state's budget
decisions will be felt by the counties.
By working together more closely and being more proactive, counties experienced
relative success in 2003. Many of the county lobbyists, including Nielsen Merksamer, formed an
informal working group with the Executive Director of the Urban Counties' Caucus, Casey
Kaneko, which met regularly to develop and implement strategies for pursuing counties'
positions before the Legislature. This process must be continued, as it will take on even more
-4-
significance in the next couple of years,particularly if commissions are established to consider
major government restructuring options.
III. Legislation
Because Nielsen Merksamer represents both governmental and non-governmental clients,
we have developed a comprehensive and efficient system of tracking legislation and would be
responsible for that function for the Contra Costa contract. One of our first goals as the
County's legislative advocates would be to establish communication and coordination between
us and the county executive staff and the Board of Supervisors, as appropriate, in order to
identify issues of concern to the County. Because literally hundreds of bills are introduced each
year which affect county government, and because legislation is frequently amended, it is
essential that the County's legislative advocate is provided up-to-the-minute information on
issues affecting the County.
Due to the variety of our client base, our firm reviews each and every bill when it is
introduced, and tracks bills through the hearing and amendment process if they are of interest or
concern. We utilize a professional service (StateNet) and have a legislative coordinator on staff
to assist us in legislative tracking and review. As we track legislation,we review all
amendments and the committee analyses. Because we currently represent three other counties on
all issues affecting them, and because of our representation of other local government entities,
we track virtually every subject matter affecting counties. Out of this process, we work with our
clients to identify the areas of greatest interest so as to maximize our effectiveness. This is
especially true when considering legislation which the County may wish to sponsor. While
undoubtedly there will be many issues in which the County is interested, a successful legislative
program depends, in part, on knowing how to conserve resources and concentrate on the areas of
greatest importance.
This organizational model allows us sufficient flexibility to implement the County's
goals. This model also provides the County with a method of establishing accountability. We
have been successful using this model with our other governmental clients, which often includes
regularly scheduled phone conferences with necessary county staff,personal meetings with staff
and with the Board of Supervisors whenever necessary, and written memoranda to summarize
and memorialize these conversations and other important events.
Further, we prepare all letters of opposition and support,based on information provided
by the counties. (The exception is, of course,when the Board of Supervisors chooses to
communicate directly in writing.) When bills are heard in a legislative committee, we often ask
that the knowledgeable county officials accompany us to the hearing and to meetings with
individual legislators, especially those legislators who represent the County.
It is extremely important that the County's legislative delegation be acutely aware of
the County's legislative needs. We believe Nielsen Merksamer can work effectively with the
County's legislative delegation--as well as with other legislators--because of our high visibility
and credibility in the Capitol and our subject matter expertise on a variety of local government
-5-
issues,ranging from social service and local government finance to Indian gaming and resource
conservation. It is our intention to work closely with these legislators so that they can be
effective proponents of the County's legislative agenda in Sacramento. In order to accomplish
this,the County should identify each legislative goal as early as possible.
This same process is also highly effective when establishing a budget strategy for the
County. Because the Governor's budget is now being written and will be presented to the
Legislature in the first weeks of January, we recommend that immediate attention be given to
defining the County's budget priorities for the upcoming fiscal year, This is even more
important given the new Administration's need to prepare a budget quickly.
One of the issues the County should consider is how high a profile it wants to maintain in
the legislative process, and how visible it wishes its advocates to be. Typically,we advise our
local government clients not only to take positions on bills they support and oppose,but to be
visible on those pieces of legislation of particular value or concern. We believe local
governments should be as aggressive as any interest represented in the Capitol, and should not be
shy about opposing bad bills. The County should defend its interests by providing direct
testimony and having meetings with legislators and staff to advise them that the County will
vigorously oppose bills if its concerns are not addressed adequately. (This approach worked
particularly well during 2003, as we obtained amendments to or derailed numerous bills that
would have imposed mandates on local government.) Because of Nielsen Merksamer's broad
client base, our significant legislative experience and our legal expertise, not only are we able to
be heard on issues of concern to our local government clients,but staff and members actively
seek us out for input and assistance.
IV. Representation of the County Before State Administrative Agencies
Many of the County's policy goals can be addressed or implemented by state agencies.
As you know,these agencies often control the operation of county programs and can take action
beneficial or contrary to proposed county policies. Nielsen Merksamer has extensive experience
with state agencies, including a familiarity with a wide array of programs administered by those
agencies and the executive and program staff.
As an example, for a number of years we have represented clients concerned with health
and social service policy issues. We have been involved with programs such as Healthy
Families, Medi-Cal, CaIWORKS, and child support collection. With respect to transportation,
water and/or flood control matters and other resource issues,we have experience in representing
clients before the transportation and resource agencies. By working with county staff who can
articulate the County's particular concerns,we may be able to achieve solutions to these
problems at the administrative level. Further,the legislative process often can be used as a
mechanism for forcing administrative agencies to seek appropriate administrative, rather than
legislative solutions.

V. California State Association of Counties
On behalf of our existing county clients,we are very active in CSAC, and currently
represent both CSAC and the League of California Cities on the proposed fiscal protection
initiative. This consistent and proactive presence allows the counties we represent to
successfully affect the policy priorities of CSAC. We attend the weekly caucus meetings during
the legislative session and participate in CSAC-sponsored working groups. We work closely
with CSAC legislative representatives responsible for various substantive areas, including
revenue and taxation,health and social services and criminal and civil justice.
VI. Exceptions
Because of the breadth of Nielsen Merksamer's client list,there is a possibility of
conflicts. This issue arises because Nielsen Merksamer is a for-profit law firm specializing in
legal and governmental relations services, election,political and campaign law and certain types
of litigation, and in this capacity represents many diverse clients.
In undertaking representation of Contra Costa County,we will ask the County to
understand that Nielsen Merksamer represents many clients whose general governmental or
political objectives and philosophies are, or may in the future be, contrary to the County's.
Therefore, in entering into a contractual arrangement for such services,the County will be asked
to agree that Nielsen Merksamer is not prevented from providing legal services to clients whose
general interests may be adverse to the County,and to expressly waive any actual or potential
conflict of interest with respect thereto.
However, except for the attached list of specified existing clients and issues (Attachment
A),Nielsen Merksamer will not represent another client on specific projects for which CountX
has engaged our firm. With respect to those specified existing clients and issues,we must obtain
a waiver from the County as to any actual or potential conflict of interest and an
acknowledgment that the firm may continue to represent those clients on those issues and, if a
conflict arises, cease representation of the County. (Please note that we have the same
arrangement with our other local government clients.)
Finally, we will ask that the County waive any objection to Nielsen Merksamer advising
and/or defending clients accused of violating Contra Costa County campaign, conflict of interest,
or lobbying laws and/or assisting them in preparing disclosure forms required under federal, state
or local laws.

SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S) :
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee
(Donna Wigand) to execute on behalf of the County, Novation Contract
#24-960-6 with Touchstone Counseling, in an amount not to exceed
$58 , 000, to provide mental health services for recipients of the
California Welfare-to-Work (CalWORKs) Program, for the period from

BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S) :
In August 1997, the State of California Legislature passed Assembly
Bill 1542 which brought major changes to the welfare programs
previously operated by the State. Among the changes was a provision
which required treatment of substance abuse and mental illnesses of
Welfare-to-Work participants, when these conditions interfere with
participation in Welfare-to-Work activities. Subsequently, the
County' s Employment and Human Services Department and Health
Services Department signed an Interdepartmental Services Agreement
(#21-427) which allowed the Health Services Department to provide
substance abuse and mental health services to Welfare-to-Work
participants referred by the Employment and Human Services
Department .
On July 23 , 2002, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract
#24-960-4 (as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #24-960-5)
with Touchstone Counseling, for the period from July 1, 2002 through
June 30, 2003 (which included a six-month automatic extension
through December 31, 2003) , to provide mental health services for
recipients of the CalWORKs Program.
Approval of Novation Contract #24-960-6 will replace the six-month
automatic extension under the prior Contract, and allow the
Contractor to continue providing services through June 30, 2004 .
