The Department of Insurance-Fraud Bureau was established in 1979. However,resources committed to fighting fraud
were limited. In 1989 the Legislature enacted,through SB 2344 and SB 1103, statutes which provided resources for
enhanced automobile insurance fraud investigation and prosecution.
That investment has resulted in dramatically increasing the number of prosecutions for automobile insurance fraud
statewide. The implementation of the mandated carrier-based special investigation units and the Automobile
Insurance Claims Depository will operate to uncover large numbers of fraudulent claims which had gone undetected
before the existence of those programs.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Failure to approve this recommendation would result in the inability of the District Attorney to apply for $192,736

"382 (10/88)
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Service Area and Incidence of Child Abuse
The Multi-disciplinary Interview Center(MDIC)will serve all of Contra Costa County. Located
in central California, Contra Costa is the ninth largest county in the state, with over 883,000
residents living within 800 square miles. There are 18 cities and 21 unincorporated areas located
within three geographically different regions—East, West and Central. Martinez, the County Seat,
is in the central region of the county just off Highway 4, the main route to the East and West
.regions of the county. The diverse population of Contra Costa County is 69.7%Caucasian,
11.40/a Hispanic, 9.1% African American, 9.2% Asian/Pacific Islander, and .6%American Indian.
Median income exceeds $70,000, yet 7.3% of the population has income below the poverty level.
Last year, Contra Costa Social Services Department(SSD) received over 20,000 calls reporting
the suspected mistreatment of children in Contra Costa County. Over 2,800 (14%) of these
reports alleged sexual abuse. Approximately 8,100 of the reports alleged neglect, 5,900 physical
abuse, 2,000 abandonment, 600 emotional abuse, and 40 child exploitation. Approximately 40%
(1,100)of the 2,864 reports for sexual abuse were investigated by SSD. The remaining 60% of
the reports were assessed out because the alleged victims were not accessible or the allegations
were non-familial (i.e., no parental culpability). The non-familial cases (approximately 10% of all
sexual abuse reports) were referred to and investigated by various police jurisdictions, along with
approximately 200 additional cases reported directly to a police department. Of more than 3,000
reports for sexual molestation in Contra Costa last year, only 194 cases were reviewed by the
District Attorney's Office and 120 were filed for criminal prosecution.
Although the project will not target one specific region of the county, over 60% of the sexual
abuse reports countywide come from Enterprise Zones Pittsburg, in the East region, and
Richmond, in the West. Therefore, the MDIC will significantly impact these two areas and, due
to the central location of the Center, will be easily accessible to both.
Caps in Intervention Services
In the current system, a child who alleges sexual molestation undergoes numerous emotional
interviews by various individuals trained to solicit different information. In a typical case, for
instance, a child may be interviewed on separate occasions by a police officer, an emergency
response worker from Child Protective Services, a Juvenile Court worker, a Juvenile Bureau
detective who determines whether to forward the case to the District Attorney, a Deputy District
Attorney, a medical examiner and a therapist. Although Contra Costa established a Multi-
Disciplinary Interview Advisory Committee(MDIAC)to coordinate interagency investigations
and streamline this process, none of the interview specialists is trained in all aspects of sexual
abuse investigations. Whereas the police officers may be well-trained in forensic evidence
collection, they may not be knowledgeable about child development or child welfare issues.
Likewise, emergency response workers, who tend to be sensitive to children's needs,typically are
not trained in forensic data collection. Additionally, without someone to coordinate multi-
disciplinary interviews, and with no specialized equipment enabling other participants in an
investigation to observe the interview and videotape it for future reference, multiple interviews are
necessary.
Further exacerbating the problem, Contra Costa has had no specialized, child-friendly facility for
conducting interviews. Therefore, most interviews of alleged child sexual abuse victims have
been conducted wherever the report is made which may be in a school principal's office, a day
care center, or other less-than-neutral settings(e.g., child's home). Regardless of how well-
trained, sensitive and comforting each individual interviewer is, multiply interviews by different
professionals in uncomfortable settings cause trauma to many children.
Multiple interviews conducted over a period of time also frequently result in inconsistencies that
can hamper prosecution. These inconsistencies reflect differences in the interview process. For
instance, law enforcement officers who are uninformed of children's needs and limitations may
have difficulty eliciting complete or truthful information from children, especially those at less
advanced stages of social, cognitive and language development. Likewise, social service
professionals with limited awareness of the forensic implications of their actions may use
suggestive language that can distort children's reports, thereby impeding the criminal prosecution.
Additionally, prolonged investigations caused by multiple interviews can degrade the quality of
information children provide and/or increase discrepancies and contradictions in children's
statements. As a result, less than 5% of reported sexual molestation cases generate sufficient
evidence to support a criminal prosecution.
The Need
In order to continue the MDIAC's progress in establishing a coordinated, multi-disciplinary
response to sexual abuse allegations in Contra Costa, the following needs must be met.
1. Several Forensic Interview Specialists must receive comprehensive training in child
development and welfare, as well as forensic evidence collection, in order to reduce the need
for multiple interviews by different agencies and improve the collection of evidence needed for
successful prosecutions.
2. A facility secured by the County for an MDIC needs to be equipped with specialized audio-
visual apparatus and supplies in order to facilitate multi-disciplinary team participation
through communication with the specialist during the interviews, and to videotape each
interview to be used in lieu of additional interviews.
3. A Manager is needed to oversee the day-to-day operations of the Center, serve as liaison
among the many involved agencies, and triage with multi-disciplinary team members to
prioritize cases when necessary; and a clerk is needed to schedule and coordinate multi-
disciplinary interviews in a timely manner, and ensure that all the critical parties(emergency
response worker, detective or police officer, and prosecuting attorney) are present .
These critical components, along with training for all multi-disciplinary team members, are
necessary in order to fully implement the MDIC which will reduce the need for multiple
interviews, thus reducing trauma to the child, while ensuring that sufficient and accurate
information is collected in order to protect the child and convict the perpetrator.
Issues to be Addressed
The Multi-disciplinary Interview Center(MDIC)will:
• improve coordination across the many disciplines involved in child sexual abuse cases;
• reduce the number of interviews a child is subjected to; and
• improve the evidence collection process.
A child who alleges sexual abuse will be referred to Child Welfare Services or a local police
department for initial screening. Cases that warrant further investigation will immediately be
referred to the Multi-disciplinary Interview Center(MDIC)which will be centrally located in
Martinez, the county seat, nearby the Juvenile Court, the Sheriffs office, the District Attorney's
office, and Merrithew Memorial Hospital--one of the three hospitals in the countywith physicians
certified to conduct medical exams of sexual abuse victims. The Center also will be near Highway
4 to allow easy access from East and West County.
When a child is referred to the Center, the clerk will schedule an interview with a specialist as
soon as possible, and coordinate with other team members to ensure their presence and
involvement with the interview. Team members will include representatives from law
enforcement, the District Attorney's Office, and Child Welfare Services. A Manager will serve as
liaison with all participating agencies and work with them to prioritize cases when necessary.
Each child referred to the MDIC will only be subjected to a single interview by one forensic
interview specialist who will be trained to solicit information necessary for child welfare and law
enforcement investigations. Specialized equipment in the Center will allow other multi-
disciplinary team members to observe(visually and audially)the interview, and interject questions
via the interviewer during the process, thereby eliminating the need for each agency to conduct
separate interviews. Interviews conducted at the MDIC will be memorialized through a written
report and videotape, which will be used in lieu of additional interviews. When a subsequent
interview is necessary, it will be conducted, if at all possible, by the same interview specialist. The
Center also will be specially designed for children to make them feel more comfortable and
relaxed. Ultimately, these changes will minimize the trauma to the child, and increase the chances
of successful prosecution of sexual abuse perpetrators.
PLAN
Proiect Description
Through inter-agency coordination, the Multi-disciplinary Interview Center(MDIC)will
streamline the investigative process to minimize the number of interviews a child is subjected to,
thus reducing trauma to the child. Specialized equipment(including a one-way mirror and an
audio/visual system that allows for private conversations between the interviewer and other
members of the team, and recording apparatus for videotaping interviews) along with
comprehensive training of child forensic interview specialists also will improve the collection and
memorialization of information resulting in increased prosecution and conviction of perpetrators.
Finally, sexual assault victim counselors and a child court advocate will support victims through
the entire process to make it a less traumatic experience, resulting in increased victim participation
in the criminal justice system and successful prosecution of cases.
Interface with Existing Services
The Multi-disciplinary Interview Advisory Committee(MDIAC), established by the Contra Costa
Child Abuse Systems Review Committee in 1993, has been meeting monthly to review and
improve the system for investigating alleged child sexual assault cases. The committee already
has developed referral and investigative protocols for primary participating agencies, i.e., police
departments or other law enforcement agencies, District Attorney's Office, and Child Welfare
Services (see Attachment 5). The advisory committee will continue to meet on a monthly basis to
review policies and procedures of the MDIC.
Rather than subject a child to separate interviews conducted by different people at each agency,
the front-line staff who takes the initial abuse report will now refer the child to the MDIC where a
clerk will schedule an interview with a child forensic interview specialist. Therefore, when a child
alleges sexual abuse or exploitation, a police officer or emergency response social worker will
continue to conduct an initial screening, attempting to obtain initial disclosure of the abuse from
the reporting adult party, to determine if the case warrants further investigation. Once initial
disclosure is obtained, further information needed for the criminal investigation, for dependency
recommendations, and for the prosecution will be collected through a single interview by a
specialist at the MDIC. All critical players(CWS worker, police officer or detective, and
prosecuting attorney)will help plan and observe the interview which will be memorialized(via
videotape) for future reference. Each participating agency will still be responsible for a particular
aspect of the investigation and subsequent planning, however all the necessary information will be
collected through one interview.
Cases that do not involve intra-familial sexual abuse will proceed as above without involvement of
CWS. Exceptions to these procedures will include cases where the Emergency Response(ER)
worker believes the child is at imminent risk of further abuse, or where the officer believes the
suspect is a flight risk, the community is at risk, or there is a good chance evidence will be
destroyed. In these cases, the officer or ER worker can conduct an initial interview with the child
before making a referral to the MDIC. In any case, once the multi-disciplinary interview has been
conducted, the team members will collectively determine if an exam by a trained medical examiner
is necessary, and coordinate future meetings and procedures for that case.
Interface with Existing Staff
Three specialists (1.75 FTE) will be hired by the Social Service Department(SSD) and trained in
principles of forensic data collection as well as child development. They will be supervised by an
existing Division Manager from SSD,who will provide child welfare and clinical supervision. The
interview specialists wiliwork closely with all members of a multi-disciplinary case team to ensure
that sufficient information is collected to meet all the investigative needs. This team will be a
subset of a larger group consisting of police officers and detectives, prosecuting attorneys,
emergency response workers and dependency court investigators, medical examiners and mental
health therapists, who currently participate in sexual abuse investigations.
An MDIC Manager, hired through a contract with Rape Crisis Center(RCC), will serve as a
liaison between all participating agencies and conduct monthly meetings of the multi-disciplinary
advisory committee and the core team. The Manager will be directly supervised by the Executive
Director of the RCC. A Clerk will be hired and supervised by a SSD Division Manager to
schedule all the interviews in a timely manner and ensure that all necessary members of the case
team are present. Additionally, sexual assault victim counselors, who receive OCJP certified
training from the RCC, will be available 24 hours a day to assist children referred to the MDIC
through the investigative process; and the RCC will assign a .5 FTE child court advocate to the
project to explain court procedures to children whose cases go to trial, and to accompany them to
court.
Linkages with Local Agencies
Social Service Department (SSD), the lead agency for the project, will issue a sole source
contract with the Rape Crisis Center(RCC) (Attachment 3)to hire and supervise the Center
Manager and provide general oversight of the MDIC. These two agencies will continue to
collaborate with the Sheriffs and District Attorney's Offices, local police departments, Merrithew
Memorial Hospital, and Child Abuse Protection Council through the MDIAC. The core multi-
disciplinary investigative team will consist of front-line staff from all participating agencies. The
Center Manager will facilitate collaboration between participating agencies through monthly
meetings of the advisory committee and the core team. Additionally, the SSD Emergency
Response workers who participate in MDIC investigations will make linkages with other
community agencies, e.g., the Department of Mental Health, for additional therapeutic and
support services for children and their families as needed.
Target Population
The project will target alleged victims of sexual abuse or exploitation who are under the age of 14
years or who have developmental skills within the range of a 14 year old. The alleged victims
must demonstrate verbal abilities in order to be referred to the Project, and the allegations of
abuse must have occurred within Contra Costa County. The Center will coordinate all cases--
familial and non-familial. However, priority will be given to cases that are most severe or most
likely to result in criminal prosecution.

III . BACKGROUND
In accordance with the plan approved by the Board of
Supervisors in the Board Order of November 19, 1996, the
Social Service Department on April 18, 1997 issued a Request
for Interest (RFI) for In Home Supportive Services (IHSS)
Registry Services in the amount of $50, 000 .
This RFI sought applications from public and private non-
profit agencies to provide countywide registry services for
IHSS clients who need assistance finding Independent
Providers with the skills and experience consistent with
each client ' s home care needs . The service period begins
7/1/97 through June 30, 1998 .
Three proposals were submitted in response to the RFI .
Family and Community Services submitted a proposal for
$50, 700 staffed by a full-time social worker and part-time
clerical support. In addition their proposal indicated
experience in providing countywide registry services that
included but were not limited to, comprehensive assessment
comprehensive intake,provider list, training, and ongoing
program monitoring. The applicant subsequently withdrew the
proposal as indicated in the attached letter.
St . Vincent de Paul submitted a proposal for $52, 812 staffed
by two full-time employees, an intake worker and a
coordinator, who would work in conjunction with their
existing Rapid Response Temporary Employment Agency, the
County Service Integration Teams (SIT) , and Social Service
Department case managers in the GAIN and General Assistance
programs to recruit aided persons to be IHSS providers .
Independent Living Resource submitted a proposal for
$147, 200 staffed by four full-time personal assistant
specialists, part-time clerical support, and a part-time
program director. The proposal would plan to extend the
range and scope of services requested in the RFI to include
not only registry activities but assessment of additional
service needs of IHSS consumers, training for consumers, and
support services as an authorized representative in the fair
hearing process upon request .
Following review of the two proposals remaining, the Social
Service Department has determined that the proposal
submitted by St. Vincent de Paul Society was most responsive
to the service delivery objectives and $50, 000 funding
availability specified in the RFI .
ADDENDUM TO ITEM C. 53
JUNE 24 , 1997
On this date the Board of Supervisors considered the matter
of a contract with St . Vincent de Paul Society for In Home
Support Registry Services funds .
Dana Simon, 560 20th Street, Oakland, representing SEIU
Local 250 , presented testimony and requested that the Board
include the items listed under D. in the written material he
presented (attached) be added to the Board order authorizing the
contract negotiation and execution.
In addition to authorizing the Director, Social Service
Department, or his designee to conduct contract negotiations and
execute a contract with St . Vincent de Paul Society for In Home
Support Registry Services funds in the amount of $50 , 000 for the
period July 1, 1997, through June 30, 1998, the Board of
Supervisors, also DIRECTED the Social Service Department to
ensure that in implementing such a registry any contract with a
third party service provider be written in such a way that it
will not contain provisions that will come in conflict the
County' s future ability to implement a Public Authority and a
registry within a Public Authority; the registry be implemented
in such a way that it could be dovetailed into the registry
functions that a Public Authority would be required to perform
under state legislation (SB35) ; and that there be some form of
formal acknowledgement that the creation of such a registry is
not intended to be a permanent alternative to the program
improvements that can potentially be created under a Public
Authority.
-Point By Point Responses-
To the Report By DSS Director Cullen
The following are responses to specific poinis from the report. Ther=correspond to the letters
annotated in the text of the attached copy,of the report.
A. Many believe this estimate that "60% the Independent Providers in Contra Costa are family
members" is significantly higher than the actual percentage. In the past, Department
administrators have cited a figure of 50%, which many also believe is high. Additionally, we
need to establish whether a worker who cares for a family members and also for one or
several other non-family members (which is common) is being counted exclusively as a
family provider.
B. "[T]he program is sometimes not fully satisfactory for those clients unable to find providers
or who have difficulty managing the employer/employee relationship between themselves
and their providers." These problems are due mainly to the poverty wages and no rights
afforded the providers. Even if a client had extra money to give for provider wages, they are
legally prohibited from doing so.
C. `Under the SIP model, counties provide ... support services to assist IHSS clients who need
help in finding. employing and retaining providers." Many providers find the use of the word
"retaining" to be offensive in this context: If wages continue to be fixed at the minimum
with providers having no rights to negotiate, what means of`retention" are being proposed?
Physical restraints?
D "The Department is now ready to begin implementation of registry activities as authorized in
the November 19, 1996 Board Order." It was not the intention of the Board to authorize
implementation of mutually exchtsive options while it continues to study the P.A. issue. For
this reason, we urge the Board to direct the Department to ensure that in implementing such
a registry...
• Any contract with a third party service provider be written in such a way that it will
not contain provisions that will come in conflict the county's future ability to
implement a P.A. and a registry within a P.A.;
• The registry be implemented in such a way that it could be dovetailed into the
registry functions that a P.A. would be required to perform under state legislation
(SB 15).
• That there be some form of formal acknowledgment that the creation of such a
registry is not intended to be a permanent alternative to the program improvements
that can potentially be created under a P.A.
E. The report states, "[State legislation] requires that counties fund the State's share of any
additional salary or benefit costs authorized by a Public Authority." Federal matching funds
are available for any fixture increases in wages that may result from future collective
bargaining negotiations. The federal government reimburses approximated 50% of all wages
and benefits within the PCSP share of the IHSS caseload. (PCSP = 69% of total IHSS

FISCAL:
Funding comes from from AS 1733, AB 2994, the Family and Children's Trust
Fund, and the Community-Based Family Resource Funds. There is no County
General Fund share of cost. The total projected FACT expense for FY 97/98
will be approximately $384,500, with anticipated revenues plus carryover for a
total of $445,000 available for the budget year.
BACKGROUND:
The Family and Children's Trust Committee (FACT) completed a Needs Assessment
process in the fall of 1996 to determine the priority service areas for the
allocation of AB 1733, AB 2994, and the Ann Adler Family and Children's Trust
funds. At the instruction of the Board of Supervisors, these funds are
awarded annually to private, non-profit agencies for the provision of services
to abused and neglected children and their families and to prevent child
abuse.
The priority service areas identified for the resulting RFP (#1045) were:
1. Parent and community education focused on effective parenting skills,
child development information, and creating nurturing family
environments to prevent child abuse and neglect.
2. Family resource services and intervention for families where adverse
conditions such as poverty, substance abuse, lack of traditional social
support systems language barriers, inability to access services, or
other factors, may contribute to child abuse and neglect and family
dysfunction.
3. Crisis intervention, case management and legal services to support
abused, neglected and/or homeless children.
4. Prevention/intervention services and counseling for adults,
adolescents and children living in non-traditional families (i.e.
parenting grandparents, single parent, adoptive or foster families,
group homes, etc. )
Twelve proposals totalling nearly $600,000 in requests were received and considered.
Following a thorough review and ranking of both the technical and fiscal aspects of
each proposal, the FACT Committee is recommending the award of $355,500 in contracts
to the above-listed seven (7) programs. These are to be twelve (12) month contracts
with the option for a one-year renewal depending on availability of funds, provision
of quality services and achievement of successful outcomes as monitored and
evaluated by the FACT Committee.

Agreements for Data Entry Services
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to execute an agreement amendment
with DESI Data Entry Services, Inc. increasing their payment limit and extending the expiration date
to June 30, 1998.
11. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This action if approved will not result in any increased cost to Department of Information
Technology.
111. REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION AND BACKGROUND:
Department of Information Technology formerly had a large data entry section that provided data
entry services for most County departments, Over the last 10 years our data entry activities have
decreased because of the installation of online interactive systems in most departments, making it
possible for departments to perform most of their own data entry. Department of Information
Technology has reached a point where it is no longer cost effective to maintain our inhouse data
enti-v section. We have been using data entry service bureaus for years to assist with peak workloads
and have found them to be very cost effective and efficient.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the request is not approved, Department of Information Technology will not be able to provide a
data entry vendor for the Auditor.

Agreement for Contract Analyst Technical Support
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)a BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve and authorize the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to execute on behalf of the
County an amendment agreement with Complete Business Solutions, Inc. to extend the
termination date to June 30, 1998 and increase the payment limit from $204,000 to

Information Technology recruitment efforts to fill vacant positions has not attracted any
qualified applicants with the necessary technical backgrounds because of low salaries. The
county has hired a consultant to perform a classification and salary study for all the
county's data processing positions. Until this study is completed and salaries are adjusted
so qualified applicants can be attracted, we will continue to use contractors to meet our
customer's needs
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the request is not approved Information Technology will not be able to provide timely
support to our customers..

Issuance of a Change Order for
Merrithew Memorial Hospital Replacement Project
Bid Package No. 3
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
Change Order No. 98 will provide for the following:
Proposed Change Order No. 265-Deletion of the low level exit markers. $(20,000.00)
Previous interpretations of the code mandated that low level exit markers be installed throughout
the hospital corridors. Later OSHPD interpretations rescinded this requirement. As a result, the
low level exit markers were deleted from the contract in order to realize a significant credit.
Proposed Change Order No. 3214"floor security system $ 158,967.00
Under previous owner requested changes, the 4" floor was modified to accommodate psychiatric
patients. To control patient egress and provide staff safety, a security system was requested.
Due to the technical nature of such a system, construction and cost allowances were utilized
while the specific system was designed and specified. This change incorporates the final security
design and associated devices into the project.
Proposed Change Order No. 509-Addition of a loading dock $ 120,000.00
The hospital's supply program provided for existing supply carts to be routed through the 1"
floor service area. Subsequent to the building design, the hospital adopted a new supply system.
As a result, the existing distribution route could not accommodate the new cart delivery systems
or staging requirements. To accommodate the above requirements, a sub-grade loading dock
was added near the 3rd floor rear entrance.
The new guaranteed maximum cost will exceed the total estimated cost stated in the construction contract agreement
approved by the Board on February 7, 1995. The new guaranteed maximum cost will total $47,524,738.00.
