SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECONIlEENDATION
Adopt a position in SUPPORT of AB 3708 by Assemblyman Campbell
which would require the State Department of Health Services
(SDHS) to submit a report on how programs administered by the
department in and around the City of Berkeley can be consolidated
and transferred to the University of California, Berkeley,
Richmond Field Station.
BACKGROUND-
The Health Services Director and Director of Public Health have
expressed their concern that the State Department of Health
Services was planning to transfer many of the fine programs which
it administers in the Berkeley area to Sacramento. The Board of
Supervisors has publicly expressed its concern with these plans,
as well.
Assemblyman Campbell has introduced AB 3708 which would require
SDHS to report to the Governor and several specified Committees
of the Legislature by January 1, 1991 on how these programs can
be consolidated and transferred to the University of California,
Berkeley' s Richmond Field Station. The report would be required
to include the following:
* A determination as to whether facilities adequate to house
the programs currently exist at the Richmond Field Station
or whether a new building would have to be built for this
purpose.

* The size and cost of a building which would be needed to
house all of these programs.
* A discussion of the possible methods of financing a new
facility, if one is needed, including the use of revenue
bonds which could be sold by the University of California.
* An evaluation of whether the University of California would
allow it' s bonding authority to be used for such a building
if the new building also provided the University with needed
facilities.
* The current and estimated future cost of moving employees
and contract staff to a new facility at the Richmond Field
Station, compared to the cost to continue to house them
elsewhere in the East Bay or moving them to Sacramento. The
comparison of the costs of moving to Sacramento must include
an assessment of the estimated impact on state programs from
vacancies that would occur if employees left these programs
to find other jobs, rather than move to Sacramento.
In view of the concerns which have been expressed by Dr. Wendel
Brunner, in particular, regarding the impact of a move to
Sacramento on the Tumor Registry staff, it is appropriate for the
Board of Supervisors to express their support for AB 3708.
