5 . DIRECT the County Administrator to begin to outline a
mechanism by which the Board of Supervisors can measure the
success of each program which is either operated directly by
County staff or is provided through a contract with another
agency. The objective here should be to eventually allow the
Board of Supervisors to evaluate the relative success of each
program and adjust the allocation of resources to provide the
most effective means of addressing a given problem -or
situation.
6 . DIRECT the County Administrator and affected Department Heads
to report to our Committee again on July 11, 1994 on the
status of the following:
o Services Integration
o Policy Academy
o Family Maintenance Organization
o Contracted Services
BACKGROUND:
On May 17, 1994 , the Board of Supervisors approved a report from
our Committee, including the following recommendations :
• REQUEST the County Administrator to coordinate the preparation
and presentation of monthly reports to our Committee covering
all significant activities on Services Integration, the Policy
Academy and Family Maintenance Organization so that our
Committee is able to monitor these programs and oversee the
County' s efforts to integrate and coordinate these services
and programs with each other.
• REQUEST the County Administrator to coordinate the preparation
and presentation of a report to our Committee on June 13, 1994
which includes a thorough inventory (at the Program Budget
level) of all family and children's services administered by
or contracted through the Social Services, Health Services,
Probation, and Community Services Departments .
• REQUEST the County Administrator to coordinate the preparation
and presentation of a report to our Committee as soon as
possible after June 13, 1994 of all individual programs and
contract services administered by or contracted through the
Social Services, Health Services, Probation, and Community
Services Departments, at as detailed a level as possible.
On June 13, 1994 , we met with Sara Hoffman from the County
Administrator' s Office, Rich Heyne from the Personnel Department
and Nina Goldman, graduate intern working in the County
Administrator' s Office. Mr. Heyne reviewed the attached memo with
us regarding the status of negotiations with employee organizations
relative to Services Integration. Ms . Hoffman added that staff
selection is well underway in all departments . A site visit will
be conducted on June 17, 1994 with the staff that has been
selected.
Ms . Hoffman also noted that client selection is underway, although
confidentiality issues are slowing down the process of comparing
information among programs regarding which clients are being served
by each program. She also noted that a family assessment form is
in draft. This form will ask what the family wants and will define
the case management plan for the family.
A series of training sessions for the Services Integration staff
will begin June 22, 1994 with an orientation session. Ms . Hoffman
also noted that the County is hoping to take advantage of a
workshop in Sacramento on "Family Focus - Family Strengths" which
teaches staff to focus on the strengths that a family has rather
than on the weaknesses and problems which are displayed by a
family.

I .O.-3
Ms . Hoffman then presented us with the attached inventory and
description of children and family services which are administered
by County Departments . We greatly appreciate this inventory, which
we believe is responsive to the Board's .May 17, 1994 referral . Ms .
Hoffman also distributed the attached "Inventory of Contra Costa
County Programs Serving Children and Families" which will be used
to obtain additional details regarding the programs which are
included in the attached inventory.
Ms . Hoffman noted that the Policy Academy is struggling with
membership issues, trying to balance racial and ethnic
considerations in its membership and is reviewing the best mix of
members given the broadened focus the Policy Academy may be moving
toward.
Our Committee is pleased that such positive movement has been made
during the past month. We want to continue to meet with staff to
get monthly briefings on the status of each element of this
expanded referral . We want to move forward by asking for an
inventory of contract programs . We also want to see an evaluation
program put in place which will eventually allow the Board of
Supervisors to determine the most cost effective way to provide a
given service and achieve a given objective. We want to begin to
address this issue as a part of our monthly reports on the subject
of children and families .

TO: Internal Operations Committee
FROM: Richard Heyne, Employee Relations Manager
SUBJECT: Report on Service Integration Negotiations
---------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------
Since the last update to your Committee on May 9, 1994, the County and Union
bargaining teams have (1 ) conducted a May 13, 1994 visit to both SIT pilot sites
at North Richmond and Ambrose Center and toured the Sacramento County
service integration project, and (2) met and conferred on issues relative to security
and staffing on May 19, 1994.
MAY 13 SITE VISIT A full day tour was attended by members of the County
Administrator's Office, Personnel, Social Service, Health Service, Probation and
Local One. An evaluation of both physical sites was made at the old Work Furlough
Center (North Richmond) and Ambrose Community Center (Bay Point). Of
particular interest was the suitability at each site for installation of metal
detectors which have been requested by the employees for security purposes.
In the afternoon, the group met with staff members of the New Helvetia/River
Oaks Service Center in Sacramento and discussed on a provider-to-provider basis
the development of that integrated service delivery program since its inception
approximately three years ago. The program is located within a large housing
project and draws the majority of clients from among the project's residents. The
staff members were uniformly enthusiastic about the opportunity to work on a
very close level with clients and shared much information about how the
integration of the separate programs is being accomplished.
MAY 19 MEET AND CONFER - This session addressed the following major topics:
The parties agree that recommendations from the SIT team members will
be considered when final meet and confer decisions are reached on security
issues.
The parties agree to conduct additional inquiry regarding a more direct
involvement of the local police departments and the Sheriff s department in
site security.
The County received and wilIcons ider concerns expressed by the employee
organizations regarding the type and amount of supervision over day-to-day
program matters which may be exercised by the Social Service Division
Manager position being filled. The unions requested that the position be
configured in the organization as a "Project Coordinator".
The parties agreed to further discussion on the nature and amount of
clerical supervision to be exercised by the Eligibility Work Supervisors
attached to the project.
The next meet and confer session is scheduled for June 23, 1994.
