INDEPENDENT LIVING SKILLS PROGRAM
OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
BACKGROUND
Ten years ago the federal government mandated that there be a program for teaching
living skills to youth who are in long-term foster care or group home placement. At age
18, these youths are emancipated (released from court supervision) and deemed to be
adults. The goal of the Independent Living Skills Program(ILSP) is to enable eligible
youth to achieve self-sufficiency prior to leaving the foster care support system. This goal
is to be achieved by providing independent living skills assessments, appropriate training,
education and written transitional living plans.
This program is designed with the concept that, if these youths are assisted in the
transition to adulthood, they can become successful members of society. It is a program
that positively impacts the future of children who, because of their circumstances in
childhood, have a strong possibility of becoming society's responsibility in adulthood. By
assisting these youths now in becoming productive adults, there is a future cost savings to
the taxpayers.
The ILSP is funded 100%by the federal government and is designed for youth 16 to 18
who are long-term wards or dependents of the Court. Objectives of the program are set
by the California Department of Social Services. Each county tailors its program in
accordance with these objectives. The funding level is based on the number of youths 16
to 18 years old who are in foster care or group home placement.
FINDINGS
Overview
I. At age 16, each youth in long term placement is required to have a written
transitional living plan developed between the youth and the social worker. This
plan includes an assessment of living skills. Participation in the ILSP is voluntary
and is designed to assist the transition to emancipation at age 18 by giving the
youth the necessary skills to live independently.
2. The Contra Costa County ILSP has an open enrollment policy which allows
youths , as they turn 16, to become active in the program rather than waiting for
the beginning of the school year, The program year is September to June,
following the school calendar, although the staff stays in contact with the youths
throughout the summer.
1
3. There is an active outreach program to encourage youths, as they turn 16, to
participate in the program. This is done by referral from a social worker, a letter
from the program, personal contact with the youths and contacts with the group
homes and foster parents. Currently, about 400 youths are eligible to participate
in the program. ILSP had 125 youth who chose to participate in some part of the
program during program year 1995-96.
4. When they are emancipated, the youth must leave the program. A number of
them have no home to which they can go. Program funding is not available to
subsidize housing following emancipation.
Funding
1. In program year 1995-96, the program had a budget of$242,900.
2. In addition to the federal money, the program has benefited from a three year
$150,000 grant from the Child Welfare League of America. This grant was
specifically designated to assist with a peer outreach program aimed at youths in
group homes. Approximately $40,000 of the grant funds is available for the
1996-97 program year.
3. Three employees are paid from program funds: Director, Job Development
Specialist and Outreach Specialist. In addition, the Department of Social
Services provides two case workers to the program.
Program Elements
A. Living Skills Workshops
1. These workshops are presented in cooperation with Los Medanos,
Diablo Valley and Contra Costa Colleges.
2. Each workshop runs for several weeks with either high school or
college credit awarded. The concept of the workshops is to provide
skills necessary to live independently. Topics include apartment
hunting, budgeting, banking, dealing with authority, decision making,
effective communications, health and nutrition, team building and
relationships.
3. Financial incentives are usually given for participation and are paid at
the completion of the workshop. These cash incentives are designed to
give the youth the opportunity to learn about money management as
well as the means to buy a few things they could not otherwise afford.
2
B. Education
1. Tutorial services are provided on an as-needed basis and assistance is
available for applying and preparing for the Scholastic Aptitude Test
(SAT).
2. College tours are arranged annually with assistance provided in
completing college applications and in securing financial aid.
3. The ILSP awards some scholarships each year to assist students
pursuing higher education with tuition, books and fees not covered by
other financial aid.
4. The educational component of the ILSP does not have a specific
coordinator.
C. Job Development
1. Workshops are held to develop resumes,job interviewing techniques,
employment options and personal presentation skills.
2. Summer internships are available and an annual job fair is held,
sponsored by the ILSP.
3. Job clubs are available only in West County. They receive support
from local employers in the form of internships, on-the-job training or
speakers at club meetings.
D. Mentoring
1. A paid mentoring program has been eliminated because of budget
limitations.
2. The ILSP staff'would like to develop a volunteer mentoring program
but has taken no steps to do so.
E. Transitional Housing
I. Transitional housing is designed to place youths, aged 17 112, in an
independent living situation with appropriate support. The initial
attempt to establish transitional housing last year failed because of
confusion as to state requirements.
2. A new transitional housing plan is being prepared by the ILSP staff
with the help of a community based non-profit organization in Hercules
3
and will start in the Spring of 1997. Four youths will be screened for
this pilot program with screening criteria including grade point
average, attendance at school, employment and participation in living
skills workshops.
3. There is no transitional housing available to program youths after they
are emancipated.
Intangible Elements
1. The program holds a series of events each year that are specifically designed to
foster the self-esteem of the youths, such as:
- a retreat each September that allows the youths to get to know each
other and the staff.
- various social gatherings throughout the year focusing on the cultural
diversity of the group.
- a number of self-esteem workshops.
- a"ropes course" to encourage self-esteem, team building and trust.
2. The ILSP makes arrangements for youths to attend camps and conferences,
opportunities not normally available to foster care youth.
3. Youths testify that this program, and the people involved, become like their
family forever. The program staff maintains an"open door" for all former
participants in the program.
4. The staff, especially the caseworkers, derive a great deal of job satisfaction
from the measurable success of the program.
Results
1. In June of 1996, 42 students graduated from high school and the ILSP.
2. The graduating young people were heading for college,jobs or the military as
shown in the following chart:

CONCLUSIONS
1. The Independent Living Skills Program is outstanding and has achieved
significant success with those youth who have chosen to participate. The public
should be made aware that this is a program that works and enables our less
fortunate youth to break the poverty cycle and develop into productive adults.
2. The program staff needs to recognize the instability of federal funding in the
environment of welfare reform in Washington and to accelerate its search for
other funding sources, such as public or private grants, to augment the program's
budget.
3. Since program participation is voluntary, the staff must find additional ways
to involve more of the eligible youth. The open enrollment policy does enable
the program to meet the needs of more youths.
4. The living skills workshops meet the goal of providing the skills needed when
youths are emancipated from the system. However, more effort must be applied
to expanding job clubs and the job development program in Central and East
County.
5_ The volunteer mentoring program should be defined and implemented.
Aggressively seeking help from the local business community is vital to
developing a successful volunteer program.
6. The transitional housing program should be implemented as soon as possible.
7. The addition of an Educational Specialist would enhance the education
component of the program.
5
RECOMMENDATIONS
The 1996-97 Contra Costa County Grand Jury recommends that:
I. the Director of the ILSP make a presentation of the program and its
achievements annually to the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors.
2. the Board make a public commitment to support this program and the youths who
participate.
3. the Board of Supervisors assist this program in every way possible in order to
sustain its outstanding success. This includes providing funding to augment
current federal funding and commitment to replace the full federal funding in the
event it becomes unavailable.
4. the ILSP staff develop a strategic plan addressing alternative funding sources in
the event federal funding is cut or eliminated.
5. the ILSP staff develop specific guidelines and an implementation plan for a
volunteer mentoring program. Included would be;
- working with various volunteer sources in the area to recruit mentors
including the Volunteer Center of Contra Costa County, The Mentoring
Center of Oakland, community involvement programs of major
employers in the county, local service clubs, Chambers of Commerce
and various retiree organizations.
- seeking interns and community service volunteers from among the
students in area colleges and universities.
6. the ILSP staff accelerate its efforts for transitional housing by looking at other
possible resources such as the Department of Housing and Urban Development
and local housing authorities.
7. the ILSP staff seek creative ways to provide temporary transitional housing for
those youths who are emancipated and have nowhere to go.
%. the ILSP staff work with all major employers in the county to provide internships
and on-the-job training for youth in the program.
9. the ILSP staff hire an educational specialist to handle the education component
of the program.
10. the ILSP staff prepare a marketing program where staff and youth present the
program to the public.

COMMENTS
The 1996-97 Contra Costa County Grand Jury believes that the Independent Living Skills
Program is an outstanding program that not only lives up to its goals but provides tangible
examples of how positive intervention in the lives of"at risk" children can significantly
change the direction of their lives. This is a program in which every citizen of Contra
Costa County can take pride. The Grand Jury strongly supports the concept of on-going
support by the County Board of Supervisors, the Department of Social Services and the
public.

ORDINANCE NO. 97
(An Ordinance of the Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County Authorizing a
Special Tax to Continue the Current Level of Funding for Park, Trail and Recreational
Facilities and Services in Rodeo)
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors ORDAINS as follows:
ARTICLE I. PURPOSE AND INTENT. As authorized by Section 50077
of the Government Code, it is the purpose and intent of this Ordinance to authorize the
levy of a tax on parcels of real property on the secured property tax roll of Contra Costa
County that are within the Zone in order to continue the current level of funding for
park, trail and recreational facilities and services in Rodeo.
This tax is a special tax within the meaning of Section 4 of article XIIIIA of the
California Constitution and Government Code Section 50077. Because the burden of this
tax falls upon property, this tax also is a property tax, but this tax is not determined
according to nor in any manner based upon the value of property; this tax is levied on a
parcel and use of property basis. Insofar as not inconsistent with this Ordinance or with
legislation authorizing special taxes and insofar as applicable to a property tax that is not
based on value, such provisions of the California Revenue and Taxation Code and of
article XIII of the California Constitution as relate to ad valorem property taxes are
intended to apply to the collection and administration of this tax (Article IV of this
Ordinance), as authorized by law. The revenues raised by this tax are to be used solely
for the acquisition, improvement, landscaping, maintenance and operation of park, trail
and recreational facilities and services in the Zone.
ARTICLE H. DEFINITIONS. The following definitions shall apply
throughout this Ordinance:
1. "Parcel" means the land and any improvements thereon, designated by an
assessor's parcel map and parcel number and carried on the secured property tax roll of
Contra Costa County. For the purposes of this Ordinance, parcel does not include any
land or improvements outside the boundaries of the Zone nor any land or improvements
owned by any governmental entity.
2. . "Fiscal year" means the period of July 1 through the following June 30.
3. "Zone" means that portion of the area of Contra Costa County located
within the boundaries of Zone 38 (Rodeo) of Countywide Landscape District AD 1979-3
•1-
ORDINANCE NO. 97- 5
4. "Use Code" means the code number assigned by the Assessor of Contra
Costa County in order to classify parcels according to use for ad valorem property tax
purposes. A copy of the Assessor's use code classifications chart is attached hereto as
Exhibit A and incorporated herein.
ARTICLE III. AMOUNT AND LEVEL OF TAXES.
1. The tax per year on each parcel in the Zone shall be the Amount of Tax
Per Parcel for a Property Use Code Category as set forth on Exhibit B incorporated
herein.
2. The taxes levied on each parcel pursuant to this Article shall be a charge
upon the parcel and shall be due and collectible as set forth in Article IV below. A
complete listing of the amount of taxes on each parcel shall be maintained by the
Director of Public Works of Contra Costa County at Martinez and be available for public
inspection during the remainder of the fiscal year for which such taxes are levied.
ARTICLE IV. COLLECTION AND ADMINISTRATION.
1. Taxes as Liens Against the Property.
The amount of taxes for each parcel each year shall constitute a lien on such
property, in accordance with Revenue and Taxation Code Section 2187, and shall have
the same effect as an ad valorem real property tax lien until fully paid.
2. Collection.
The taxes on each parcel shall be billed on the secured roll tax bills for ad
valorem property taxes and shall be due the County of Contra Costa. Insofar as feasible
and insofar as not inconsistent with this Ordinance, the taxes are to be collected in the
same manner in which the County collects secured roll ad valorem property taxes.
Insofar as feasible and insofar as not inconsistent with this Ordinance, the times and
procedure regarding exemptions, due dates, installment payments, corrections,
cancellations, refunds, late payments, penalties, liens, and collections for secured roll ad
valorem property taxes shall be applicable to the collection of this tax. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the foregoing, as to this tax: 1) the secured roll tax bills shall
be the only notices required for this tax, and 2) the homeowners and veterans exemptions
shall not be applicable because such exemptions are determined by dollar amount of
value.

ORDINANCE NO. 97-_L_
X17.3
3. Costs of Administration by County.
The reasonable costs incurred by the County officers collecting and administering
this tax shall be deducted from the collected taxes.
ARTICLE V. SEVERABILITY CLAUSE.
If any article, section, subsection, sentence, phrase or clause of this Ordinance is
for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not effect the validity of the
remaining portion of this Ordinance. The voters of the Zone hereby declare that they
would have adopted the remainder of this Ordinance, including each article, section,
subsection, sentence, phrase or clause, irrespective of the invalidity of any other article,
section, subsection, sentence, phrase or clause.
ARTICLE VI. EFFECTIVE DATE.
This Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its confirmation by two-thirds
of the voters voting within the Zone in an election to be held June 3, 1997 so that taxes
shall first be collected hereunder for the tax year beginning July 1, 1997.

SUBJECT: Authorize Use of Buchanan Field Airport by Concord Chamber of Commerce
for Father's Day 1997 for the Contra Costa Air and Recreational Show
SPECIFIC REOUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
AUTHORIZE the use of Buchanan Field Airport by the Concord Chamber of Commerce for
Father's Day 1997 for the Contra Costa Air and Recreational Show,
FISCAL IMPACT
None.
BACKGROUND
The Concord Chamber of Commerce, with some assistance on the part of Buchanan Field
Airport staff, wishes to utilize the Airport for an air and recreational show to be held on
Father's Day 1997 (June 15th) . For the past seven years, the Airport has sponsored (with
active participation by businesses located at the Airport) an annual air show on Father's Day.
Last August, Buchanan Field Airport celebrated its 50th Anniversary. Having reached that
milestone and with several successful air shows to its credit, Airport staff concluded it could
no longer devote the necessary staff time to organizing a 1997 Father's Day event.
The Concord Chamber of Commerce has stepped forward and wishes to organize and present
the event this year, which will be an enhancement to past years' activities and will take
advantage of the historical perspective of Buchanan Field. The air show will remain the
primary focus of the event but added attractions include: 1) an historic automobile race under
arrangements with the Monterey Historic Automobile Racing Association (Buchanan Field
hosted such an event in 1955); 2) exhibits and demonstrations by local recreational businesses
(to include automobiles, motor homes, motorcycles, boats, and jet skis) ; and 3) booths by
local restaurants providing food and refreshments.
The event hours will be 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. The Chamber will collect an admission charge of
$5; said funds will be utilized to offset the event's expenses, and any remaining funds will be
used to support a variety of community activities. In addition, there will be charges at the
various food vendor booths.
