Contra
FROM: William Walker, M.D. , Health Services Director Costa
DATE: March 7, 1996 County
SUBJECT: Approve Interagency Agreement #22-568 with Housing Authority
of the County of Contra Costa
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Health Services Director or his designee (Wendel Brunner,
M.D.) , to execute on behalf of the County, Interagency Agreement #22-568 with the
Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa, with a payment limit of $214,524,
for the period from July 1, 1995 through June 30, 1996 for the provision of program
staff and program expenses and for shelter maintenance and repair for the County's
Homeless Program.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This Interagency Agreement is funded by County general and federal HUD funds.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND:
During the transfer of the County's Homeless Program from the Housing Authority of
the County of Contra Costa (HACCC) to the Health Services Department, several
agreements were made to facilitate the provision of services and allow a smooth
transition of various program components between these County agencies. This
Interagency Agreement has been developed to specify the financial obligations of
these agreements to allow the Housing Authority to be reimbursed for services
provided in good faith while awaiting execution of a formal agreement.
Under this agreement the Health Services Department will reimburse HACCC for
salaries, benefits, and other associated expenses paid to program staff working for
the Contra Costa Homeless Program. These employees were originally hired as
contract employees of HACCC to provide program services; maintenance and repair
services performed by HACCC maintenance staff or subcontracted to a third party to
maintain and repair the County's homeless shelters and transitional housing; and for
the budget shortfall for FY 94/95.
As HACCC employees, the Homeless program personnel received benefits through
employment with the Housing Authority; as contract employees with the Health
Services Department they would not be eligible to receive these benefits. The
Assistant Health Services Director for Public Health and the Executive Director of
the Housing Authority agreed to continue employment of these employees through the
Housing Authority.

The Board of Supervisors assigned on-going responsibility for facility management
+� to the HACCC on November 8, 1994 when they transferred the primary responsibility
for the County's Homeless Program to the Health Services Department. The HACCC is
responsible for rehabilitation, maintenance and repair of the Brookside and Central
County Shelters and the Mt. View Transitional Housing Facility and will be
reimbursed for maintenance and repairs performed by HACCC employees or subcontracted
by a third party and approved by the Health Services Department.
The HACCC's Fiscal Department agreed to handle the Homeless Program contracts and
funds for the Health Services Department through the end of FY 94/95. A delay in
awarding grant funds to the Emergency Shelter Program for the Homeless Single Adults
resulted in a budget shortfall for FY 94/95. The Department's Homeless Program will
post this shortfall for FY 94/95, reimburse HACCC from FY 95/96 funds and apply the
grant funds to the FY 95/96 budget.
