BACKGROUND:
I! I
II
In 1999, thell Board of Supervisors adopted GovernmeI ht Code Section 31470.13 regarding safety
membership 11, in the Contra Costa County Employee Retirement Association (CCCERA). This
government code covers officers and employees whose functions fall within the scope of Hazard
Materials Services. At the time, the County classifications meeting these criteria included Hazardous
Materials Specialist I and II and Hazardous Materials Technician.
Recently, at the request of the Health Services Department, Human Resources revised and. retitled
the Director of Environmental Health-Hazardous Material's-Exempt to Director of Hazardous Materials
Program-Exempt (VLD2) and revised the Deputy Director of Environmental Health-Hazardous
Materials Program Manager to Assistant Director of Hazardous Materials Program (VLFA).
I'
The classification revisions removed the environmental health portion of the job and placed more
emphasis on ,the hazard materials services. Incumbents of either position are subject to exposure to
chemical releases, explosions, chemical clouds, etc.!, and have overall responsibility for the
managementli and implementation of the Incident Response Team. Pursuant to the statute cited
above, these duties fall within the scope of hazardous materials services and is thereby eligible for
safety membership in retirement. i
