1. EXTRODUCTION
In November, 1997,Contra Costa County was advised by the California Trade&Commerce
Agency of the establishment of the Job Creation Investment Fund(JCIF)grant program, and was
invited to submit an application. The Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County approved a
Board Resolution on March 3, 1998,to submit such an application. The County Social Services
Department was designated as the fiscal agent for the County, and the Contra Costa Economic
Partnership was designated as the lead local economic development organization to coordinate
the Job Creation Task Force. This application was submitted to California'Trade&Commerce in
transmittal dated June 1, 1998. This application was officially accepted by California Trade&
Commerce in agreement dated September 30, 1998.
Work on developing the JCIF Implementation Flan began by considering how best to establish
the Job Creation Task Force. Following the principle of utilizing existing organizations whenever
possible,the County and the Partnership recognized that it would be appropriate for the
countywide Workforce Development Advisory Panel(WDAP)to play a role in formation of the
JCTF. Members of the WRAP are shown in Attachment A. This was proposed to the WRAP
and, in June, 1998,they approved formation of the JCTF as a working group within the WDAP.
The JCTF(members shown in Attachment B)met on September 10 to consider the question of
how to most effectively utilize the limited funds available from the JCIF to create jobs for
CalWORKS participants. A number of principles evolved that guided future decision-making:
• Focus on creatin jobs for CalWORKS participants, and not just placing CaPATORKS
participate in existing jobs.
• Utilize existing organizations,and not create new organizations or bureaucracy.
• Be very cost effective in utilizing the very limited funds available.
• Focus on areas where we could do something innovative.
® Focus on areas where we could snake a difference.
Focus on new areas which were not already being addressed by others.
IL SG1 S ALM Y
A summary of the Implementation Plan is as follows:
• The objective is to"create jobs for CalWORKS participants in the small business sector in
West Contra Costa County."
• Initially, the focus is on West Contra Costa County,due to funding limitations. The goal is
to develop a model that can be used in Central and Fast County, if ids are available.
® The Plan will be implemented by working with existing organizations that are already
committed to working with the small business sector for job creation: the Chambers of
Commerce in West Contra.Costa(led by the Richmond Chamber of Commerce),and the
West Contra Costa Business Development Center.
• An Oversight Committee will be established to set policy for the"JCIF Implementation
Project.",allocate JCIF funds to support the Project,and monitor progress in achieving the
desired results (creating jobs for CalWORKS participants).
• 'The initial focus is on identifying the job-creation needs of those small businesses that have
high potential for creating jobs for CalWORKS participants.
• Actions will then be taken to meet those needs, so that they can create jobs and employ
CalWORKS participants.
1
1. Fgmig on of the Job Creation Task Force
The first step in developing the JCIF Implementation Flan was to establish.the Job Creation Task
Force(JCTF). In Contra Costs.County,the Workforce Development Advisory Panel(WRAP)
had been in place since mid-1997, The mission of that group is to"promote a workforce
development system that meets the needs of business,job-seekers and workers in order to ensure
a strong,vibrant economy in Contra Costa". Participants on the Workforce Development
Advisory Panel(shown in Attachment A)represent a broad crass-section of the public,private
and education sectors in Contra Costa County that are concerned with the development of a
workforce that can meet the needs of the Contra Costa economy.
Following the principle of utilizing existing organizations whenever possible,the County and the
Partnership recognized the potential for the countywide Workforce Development Advisory Panel
to play a role in Formation of the JCTF. tiivianne Dufour,the regional coordinator for Cal Trade
&Commerce for the Job Creation Investment Fund, strongly supported the concept of forming
the JCTF within an existing organization. The WRAP was approached on this,and approved the
formation of the JCTF as a sub-committee within the WDAP, The members of'the Job Creation
Task Force are shown in Attachment B.
2. JCTF Meeting, Somber 1 tl 1998
The JCTF met on September 10, 1998,to consider the question as to how to most effectively
utilize the limited funds available from the DCII`to create jobs for CalWORKS participants. A
number of principles evolved that guided future decision-making:
• Focus on job creation for CalWORKS participants,not joust placing CaIWORKS recipients
in existing jobs.
• Utilize existing organizations, and not create new organizations or bureaucracy.
• Be very cost effective in utilizing the very limited funds available
• Focus on areas where we could do something innovative
• .Focus on areas where we could make a difference
• Focus on new areas which were not already being addressed by others
Utilizing the above principles,the Task force narrowed the objective from`°Jolt creation for
CaIWORKS participants"to"Job creation in the small business sector for CaIWORKS
participants in West Contra Costa.CoauMa!, The factors that led to this focus were:
• The small business sector is an extremely important part ofthe Contra Costa economy, and is
responsible for much of the job creation here.
• The larger businesses in Contra Costa County are already involved in employment efforts For
CalWORKS participants, due to their obvious presence and importance, and the ease with
which they can be contacted and involved
• The small business sector is,to some extent,not involved in the efforts to place CalWORKS
participants because it is widely dispersed, difficult to communicate with,has great time
pressures that inhibit involvement,and is especially averse to risks(real or perceived)of
hieing CaIWORKS participants.
• In Contra Costa County, 50%of the CalWORKS participants reside in WestContra Costa
County, It was the strong opinion of the JCTF that job creation efforts must be close to
where the CalWORKS participants reside,due to the complications that commuting presents
because of transportation difficulties and child care needs, If the JCIF Project is successful in
West Contra Costa.County,the model can thea be utilized for similar projects in Central and
Fast Contra Costa County.
2
3 JCTF lyieeting on-November 24, 1998
As a result of the first meeting,when the focus for job creation was set to be initially in West
Contra Costa County,the second meeting of JCTF was held in the City of Richmond. That
meeting focused on how to make the best,convection to the small business community,and how
to support them in job creation and employment of CaIWORKS participants.
In live with the principle to utilize existing organizations to the fullest extent possible,the
conclusion was that there were two key organizations that should be involved: the Chambers of
Commerce,and the Fest Contra Costa Business Development Center.
The action item resulting from that meeting of the JCTF was to proceed to investigate the roles
that the Chambers of Commerce,and the Nest Contra Costa Business Development Center,
could play in developing and implementing the JCIF Project.
4. Nest Contra Costa fyleetings
Twelve meetings were held with Chambers of Commerce,the Nest Contra Cosh Business
Development Center, EDC's,and City of Richmond leadership. From those meetings evolved
the concept of a collaborative effort to oversee implementation of the JCIF as a "Project"in Test
Contra Costa County. The JCIF Implementation Project would be managed by an Oversight
Committee,with business contacts being the responsibility of the Richmond Chamber of
Commerce(as the leader of the Chamber community), and the WCC BDC being responsible for
providing business development services as needed for job creation by small businesses.
5. Conclusion
The conclusion of the above meetings and discussions was that the Contra.Costa Economic
Partnership should facilitate a working group of West Contra Costa organizations directly
involved in job creation in the small business sector in West Contra Costa,focusing on job
creation in small business that would employ CalWORKS participants. Following is the
Implementation Plan for proceeding with this.
IV. THE JCIF IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
1. OVERVIEW
The focus for the Implementation Plan for the JCIF has therefore been narrowed to: "Job creation
for CalWORKS participants in the small business sector in West Contra.Costa County." The
intent is to implement this plan for West Contra Costa County,and use the experience gained
there as a model for implementing similar projects its.Central Contra Costa County(probably the
Monument Corridor), and East Contra Costa County(probably the Bay Point area), should future
(ands be available. The initial effort,with the limited funds available, is focused on Nest Contra
Costa.County.
In order to accomplish this,the critical element is to involve and build on organizations whose
mission includes the above focus of the JCIF. In Fest Contra Costa County,there are two
organizations that deal with the small business sector,and have support of the small business
sector as part of their missions ---the Chambers of Commerce, led by the Richmond Chamber of
Commerce,and the West Contra Costa Business Development Center.
2. THE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN
After a number of meetings with these organizations,with great support from David Thompson
(Director of the Richmond Redevelopment Agency),we arrived at the following:Implementation
Plan for the most cost-effecive use of funds for job creation for CalWORKS participants in the
small business sector in West Contra Costa.County:
3
An Oversight Committee will be established to:
* Finalize the details of the Implementation Plan.
* Designate roles and responsibilities for implementing the Plan.
* Define expectations for the JCIF Implementation Project.
* Establish a schedule for implementing that Plan.
* Allocate funding to support the JCIF Implementation Project activities.
* Oversee activities and monitor results.
Membership on this oversight committee will include:
* Don Manning of the Contra Costa Economic Partnership (chair).
* Kareen Morgan,of the County Social Services Department(fiscal agent).
* Judy Morgan, executive director of the Richmond Chamber of Commerce.
* Carrie Portis and Alex Gomez of Rubicon Programs Inc.,the operator of the West Contra
Costa Business Development Center.
* David Thompson, director of the Richmond Redevelopment Agency and member of the
Board of Directors of the WCC BDC.
Is Upesi Mtambusi(or designee), City of Richmond Employment and Training Department.
Elements of the Implementation Plan include:
General
* Develop a database of small businesses in West Contra Costa County,utilizing existing
databases to the fullest extent possible.
* Identify 3 —5 business clusters that exist in West Contra Costa County that have the most
potential for job creation for CalWORKS participants.
* Identify 3 —5 companies in each business cluster,to be interviewed in-depth.
* Conduct interviews to determine what is needed for those businesses to create gobs, and what
is needed for CalWORKS participants to fill those jabs.
* Identify the overall highest priority needs that must be addressed in order to create jobs for
CaNNIORKS participants.
* Develop a plan to address those high priority needs,that.would create jabs for Cal)VORKS
participants if those needs were met.
* Implement efforts to meet those high priority needs of small business.
* Function as a clearinghouse for linking CalWORKS job developers (EastBayWORKS,
County Job Clubs)with potential jobs for CalWORKS recipients in the WCC small business
community.
Richmond Chamber of Commerce and other West County Chambers of Commerce:
* Take the lead in West Contra Costa County in involving all the WCC Chambers of
Commerce in achieving the objectives of the JCIF Project.
• Survey small businesses throughout West Contra Costa County to determine what their needs
are to expand and to hire CalWORKS participants.
* Identify and work with specific businesses that have potential for job creation and
employment of CalWORKS participants.
* Provide linkage between small businesses and the resources they need to create jabs.
West Contra Costa Business Develgpment Center:
* Provide increased publicity to inform the small business community about the services
available at the WCC BDC.
* Identify businesses that have potential for job creation and employment of CalWORKS
participants.
* Provide program and services to meet the needs of small businesses for job creation.
® Provide linkages for small businesses to meet other job creation needs.
4
It is anticipated that after the needs of the small business community are assessed, some of the
following will be needed to help small businesses expand and create jobs for CaIWORKS
participants:
Access to business counseling for development of a business plan, marketing plan,etc.
Access to professional services to support their business.
Access to capital funding,whether through loan programs,grants,etc.
Availability of affordable space for their business expansion.
Awareness of the economic assistance available for hiring CaIWORKS participants.
Information regarding the `job readiness"of available CaIWORKS participants.
Availability of intermediary employers to lessen the risk of employing CalWORKS
participants.
Development of business and markets, such as:
- Increased access to larger businesses in West Contra Costa.County.
- Access to markets outside of West Contra Costa County.
Partnering for international business opportunities
Possible establishment of a Mixed-Use Business Incubator in West Contra Costa County.
3. ':MEASURES OF SUCCESS
The overall objective of the JCIF Project is to create jobs for CalWORKS participants, and that is
primarily what will be tracked. Both the Chambers and the WCC BDC will keep track of the
businesses that create jabs as the result of the JCIF efforts,and identify how manor CaIWORKS
participants have been placed in those jobs. Ideally,two or three"stars„will be identified that
will really benefit from the efforts of the JCIF Implementation Project,and will show tangible
growth and job creation for CaANTORKS participants. The goal of the JCIF Project is to create
20 jobs for CalWORKS participants in Fest Contra Costa.County. That would be a very
cost-effective$4,000 per job created from the overall grant of$80,000.
Cather benefits from this Project will include information gained that will be useful for broader
economic development activities,and information regarding the obstacles to hiring CalWORKS
participants in the overall business sector.
4. FU'T`URE ACTIONS
Should this Project be successful in West Contra Costa County,we plan to seek additional fiords
to expand the effort in West Contra Costa County,and migrate similar JCIF Implementation
Projects to Central and East Contra Costa County.
V. PLANMUIREME TS
1, Plan Requirement No. 1: "Concisely identify the number of CalWORKS"recipients in the
County and the communities in which these Recipients reside."
CaIWORKS Case Count by District(as of February 28, 1999):
Antioch 3,557
Bay Point 281
Hercules 2,446: In the present area of focus,West Contra.
Martinez 1,771 Costa County,the typical CalWORKS
North Richmond 1.36 participant is a female in her twenties,with a

Training 290 single parent with 2 children(one pre-school
TOTAL CASES 11,340 and one school-age).

Plan Requirement No. 2: "Identify local/regional economic sectors, andlor companies to
facilitate their expansion and the creation of errrploymentfor CalWORKS recipients.
Contra Costa County is a very diverse County regarding economic sectors. The heavy industrial
sector is one major economic business cluster. However,job creation in the heavy industrial
sector is actually in decline, and does not offer good prospects for firing of CaIWORKS
recipients. Other major business clusters are in telecommunications and software. However,
these clusters are primarily located in South County. Contra Costa County does have,however, a
very strong and dynamic small business sector, including great numbers of microennterprise and
home-based businesses. About 10%of the Contra Costa County workforce(more than 30,000
workers)have jobs in home-based businesses. Small business is a dynamic and growing sector,
and offers the beat prospect for job creation. 'There are,however, special challenges in creating
jobs for CalWORKS participants in the small business sector,which are addressed in this
Implementation plan.
Plant Requirement No. 3 "Jdentify the needs of these economic sectors and/or companies to
facilitate their expansion and the creation of employment for CalWORKS recipients."
Identifying the needs of the small business sector for expansion and job creation is the subject of
this J.nplementation]Plan. Preliminary studies indicate that these needs include:
Expanded markets and business opportunities
® Availability of"job ready"employees
Access to business counseling
Access to professional services
Mitigation of the"risk"of hiring CaIWORKS participants(possibly through intermediary
employers)
Access to capital
Economic incentives to hire CaIWORKS recipients
Affordable space
The number of'private sector jobs that could be created by supporting small businesses expansion
and job creation is very difficult to project. However,with about 20,000 small businesses in
Contra Costa County,the potential is certainly there to create a significant number of jabs. We
estimate that a minimum of 60 jobs could be created in the small business sector, if this JCIE
Implementation plan could be carried out in the three pockets of poverty in the County Gest
County,the Monument Corridor in Concord, and East Contra Costa County---Bay Point). This
Implementation flan will focus only on West Contra Costa.County due to the limited funding
available,with a goal of creating 20 jobs for CalWORKS recipients.
Plan ]requirement No 4. "Iddenufy specific job creation activities that respond to these
needs and erre targeted to employ CalWORKS recipients."
Specific job creation activities that respond to the needs of small business for job creation for
CalWORKS recipients will be more specifically defined in the Implementation Phase. A critical
part of the project is to identify specifically what those needs are for small business job creation
for CaIWORKS recipients. These job creation activities may include.
• Education of small businesses regarding the availability,job-readiness and economics of
hiring CaIWORKS participants.
• Business development assistance and mess to professional services.
Business development and marketing opportunities.
Availability of intermediary employers to mitigate employment risks.
One-stop centers for small business financing and other services.
Establishment of mixed-use small business incubators.
6
• Development of economic strategies for cluster development.
• Support of microenterprises and home-based businesses.
• Development of localized labor market information.
Plan Requirement No. 5: "Evaluate and rank the Job Creation Activities listed in.plan
Requirement Alo. 4 according to priority for implementation."
The Job Creation Activities are listed above(in Plan Requirement No. 4)in the estimated order of
effectiveness,the most effective being listed first.
Plan Requirement No. 6: "Identify how Job Creation Investment.Funds will be used in each
project that will be implemented with Job Creation Investment Funds,9'
Some of the anticipated uses of the Job Creation Investment Funds are:
• Fund creation of a small business database for West Contra Costa County,to provide
information small business clusters,growth opportunities, market sectors,geographic
concentrations, etc.,and to provide for communication with small businessesregarding hiring
of CalWORKS recipients.
• Conduct surveys and interviews with small businesses to identify their specific needs for
them to grow their businesses and create jobs,especially for CalWORKS recipients.
• Provide increased technical assistance for small businesses to support diem in growing their
businesses and hiring CaIWIORKS recipients. This technical assistance could include
business counseling, development of business plans(e.g.,financial,marketing),connection to
professional services, fending and financing, etc.
• Communicate to small businesses the opportunities for hiring CalWORKS recipients,the
financial incentives that exist,the"work ready"qualifications.
• Evaluate the viability of a small business mixed-use incubator.
Work with intermediary employers to mitigate risks for small businesses in employing of
CalWORKS recipients.
Plan Requirement Na: 7. "Describe in the Job Creation plan the links and collaboration
with local government agencies, non-profit organizations, employers, and other local entities
that have occurred in preparing the job Creation Flan and that will occur in implementing
the Job Creation Activities."
This collaboration is described in the"Background"section of this Implementation Plan report.
Where have been a number of strong linkages established, especially among the Contra Costa
Economic Partnership,the County Social Services Department,the City of Richmond,the
Chambers of Commerce, Rubicon Programs (nosy-profit), and the West Contra Costa Business
Development Center. Other organizations involved include the PIC and EDD.
Plan Requirement No. 8: "Identify performance standards developed locally to measure the
success of Job Creation Activities. Performance standards must include the number of jabs
that will be created as a result of Job Creation Activities, the number of CaI C+RKS,
recipients that will be employed as a result ofJob Creation Activities, and a description of
how results will be tracked and measured."
The measure of the success of the Job Creation Activities will be the number of CalWORKS
recipients employed in jobs created in small businesses as a result of the Job Creation Activities.
This will be accomplished by tracking the progress of the small businesses that are assisted,and
the CaIWORKS recipients who are employed by therm. This will be the responsibility of the JCIF
Implementation Project Oversight Committee. Secondary measures will include numbers of
7
small businesses that are given in-depth support,and the specific programs that are put in place to
address the needs of small business for job creation.
P7. FUTURE.L L11 36J
The expectation is that implementation of an effective Job Creation Strategy in Wiest Contra
Costa County can serve as a model for similar initiatives in Central County(the Monument
Corridor in Concord),and in East County(Bay point,and Antioch).
The model at this paint looks like this:
I. ldentify the geographic areas of concentration of CalWORKS recipients. The job creation
needs to be where the CaIWORKS recipients live,unless there is a good transportation
system to connect to Mother location.
2. identify the key organizations that connect with, and have influence in,the small business
community and have as their mission the success of small business and subsequent jab
creation. These are most likely the Chambers of Commerce and the Small Business
Development Centers.
3. Form a JCIF implementation project Oversight Committee consisting of the economic
development organization,the Chambers,the SBDC,the City Redevelopment or Community
Development Department,the County Social Services Department, and the local PIC. The
Oversight Committee might also include a particularly strong non-profit in the area, such as
Rubicon Programs in West County,or St.Vincent de Maul in Central and East County.
4. Designate one of the organizations to take the lead and be the focal point for the linkage
between the small business community and job development organizations in each area.
5. Develop a database of the small businesses in the area, in order to:
Analyze the clusters,locations, size,and other characteristics of the small businesses.
Communicate with small businesses on what is needed for there to grow and create jobs.
Communicate with small businesses regarding the availability and job-readiness of
CalWORKS recipients to meet their employment needs.
6, Survey the small businesses to determine what the key requirements are for them to prosper
and create jobs, especially for CaIWORKS recipients.
7, 'rake action in those areas that would be most effective in supporting small businesses in
creating jobs for CalWORKS recipients.
8. Monitor the progress, and document the key leamings,to continually improve the process.
Realistically,the present Job Creation investment Fund will allow work in only one area in
Contra Costa.County. That first area should be Fest County,where most of the CaIWORKS
recipients live. Limited funds will probably not allow us to accomplish the full measure of job
creation that might be passible. However,it does allow a beginning, and development of a model
to be used. We will also loots for ways to leverage the JCIF with other funding sources.
It is recognized that we need to show tangible results, and a workable model,before additional
funds may be forthcoming. That is as it should be. It is now our responsibility to show that these
limited funds can be highly effective in creating jobs for CaIWORKS recipients. As a start,we
have expended only$15,000 of the budgeted$40,000 for developing this Implementation Plan,
thereby providing$65,000 for actual project implementation. We have an excellent group
committed to this in West Contra Costa County---we'll get it done'
