DATE: February 7, 2006 C 4
SUBJECT: APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to
revise the In Home Supportive Services Public Authority rate for Contra Costa County from
$12.27 to $12.67 per hour effective March 1, 2006.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Employment and Human Services Director, or designee, to revise the
In Home Supportive Services (IHSS) Public Authority rate for Contra Costa County from $12.27 to $12.67 per
hour effective March 1, 2006.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The total IHSS Public Authority annual budget is $82,329,790. 14% County, 86% Federal and State allowing
for capped State expenditures for salaries and benefits. This budget includes IHSS provider wages, payroll
taxes, benefits and Public Authority administrative expenses.
BACKGROUND:
This rate revision corrects a technical error in the earlier rate revision authorized by the Board of Supervisors
effective February 1, 2006. Under that prior rate revision,the State approved an IHSS provider wage rate of
only $9.71 per hour for February 2006 rather than the $10.00 per hour agreed to in the recently concluded
collective bargaining agreement between the IHSS Public Authority and SEIU Local 250. This new rate
revision will enable the State to approve a wage rate of$10.06 per hour effective March 1 through July 31,
2006, thereby compensating the IHSS providers over those five months for the inadvertently low wage rate paid
in February. Under the collective bargaining agreement, the hourly wage rate will increase to $10.50 per hour
effective August 1, 2006. The Public Authority will prepare another rate revision at that time.
