BACKGROUND: Last year, the State cut local governments by $1 . 3 billion. As a result, Contra Costa County eliminated approximately $55 million from its budget shortfall and abolished 606 positions . The elimination of these positions included 380 layoffs in spite of the fact that there had been a freeze in effect essentially for the entire fiscal year. The Governor' s Budget, when it was released on January 8, 1993, called for an additional $2 . 6 billion cut to local governments for the 1993-94 fiscal year. This position was reinforced by the Governor on April 14, 1993 in his remarks to the CSAC Spring Legislative Conference. Both the Assembly and Senate versions of the budget contain this $2 . 6 billion reduction in local property tax revenue. The Governor and the Minority leadership in the Legislature have made it clear that they oppose continuation of the 1/2 cent sales tax which is due to expire June 30, 1993 . In addition, they oppose any increases in existing revenue sources and the imposition of any new revenue sources . They insist that all of the State Budget deficit be balanced with expenditure reductions . In view of the above, we believe that it is only prudent to anticipate and begin to prepare for devastating reductions to County programs . This level of reductions to County programs can be achieved only with the elimination of hundreds of positions, including massive layoffs .

ATTESTED / Contact: PHIL BA CHELOR,CLERK OF TZBOARD OF cc: See Page 2 SUPERVISORS AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR BY DEPUTY The Board of Supervisors has repeatedly expressed its commitment to taking every possible step to avoid laying off employees . On February 2, 1993, the Board directed that a number of personnel-related actions be taken, all focused on reducing the need for layoffs . One of these directions, Recommendation #24 , reads as follows : "Authorize the County Administrator to examine the feasibility of extending the provisions of early retirement to selected classifications for specified periods of time. " The attached resolution is the most recent effort in this direction. Early retirement has been offered to a wide variety of classifications in a number of departments over the past few years . Earlier this year, early retirement was offered to selected classifications in the General Services Department and most recently to selected classifications in the Fire Protection Districts. The classifications listed on the attached resolution generally cover senior positions in some of the departments which are likely to be facing layoffs in the coming months . While this is the third time this year that early retirement has been offered in different departments, it is certainly not the last time we will be recommending that it be offered this year, particularly as we get a clearer idea of the extent of reductions the State will require of us . In addition, we will require that where an employee accepts an early retirement offer, the position which is vacated or another position at or close to the same level be left vacant and/or be eliminated to assist in offsetting the additional funds which must be deposited with the Retirement Board. The attached resolution also includes represented classifications in some departments . We are in contact with the employee representatives to get their input for additional inclusions. As these discussions continue, and as the impact of State reductions becomes more department-specific, we will bring additional resolutions to the Board covering additional classifications . At this time, we would recommend that the attached resolution be adopted. cc: County Administrator Personnel Department Retirement Auditor-Controller County Counsel County Department Heads 2 - DATE: Z REQUEST To SPEAK FORM (THREE (3) MINUTE LIMIT) Complete this form and place it in the box near the speakers' rostrum before addressing the B� , NAME: ( ..i PHONE: ADDRESS: CITY: I am speaking formyselfOR organization: . 4Check one: (NAME OF ORGANI7.NTIOti� —X I wish to speak on Agenda Item # � t My comments will be: general for against I wish to speak on the subject of I do not wish to speak but leave these comments for the Board to consider.
