FROM: William B.Walker, M.D.(41v41ACOUNTY
Health Services Director
HATE: April 19, 2000
SUBJECT:
SB-1255 Medi-Cal Contract
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION($)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Recommendation:
Authorize the Health Services Director to transfer a maximum of$10,000,000 to
the State of California as authorized under SB-1255.
Fiscal Impact:
Contra Costa Regional Medical Center (CCRMC) will be eligible for a maximum
of$10.0 million in matching Federal funds. See background information for full
discussion.
Background:
Federal grants to the State of the Medicaid program (Medi-Cal in California) are
authorized under Title XIX of the Social Security Act to provide medical
assistance to certain persons with low income. These Medicaid programs are
jointly financed by the Federal and State governments and administered by the
States. State Medicaid agencies conduct their programs according to the
Medicaid State plan approved by the Administrator of the Health Care Financing
Administration (HCFA). To carry out the Medicaid Program, the State agency
pays providers for medical care and services provided to eligible Medicaid
recipients.
The Federal government pays its share of Medicaid program expenses to the
State on a quarterly basis according to a formula. The State share of Medicaid
program expenses is paid from "State funds", that is, those funds over which the
State legislature has unrestricted power of appropriation. In California, the
program "split" is 50% Federal financing, 50% State financing.
SBA 255 (Chapter 996, Statutes of 1989) added Section 14085.6 to the Welfare
and Institutions Code and established a program whereby certain voluntary
transfers and donations will be utilized by the State to provide funds to
disproportionate share hospitals to assist them in enhancing or maintaining
access for Medi-Cal beneficiaries. This program is similar in nature to those
established in Tennessee and other states.

These voluntary transfers would be used to match Federal dollars under the
Medi-Cal program, thereby increasing the total revenue base available for
distribution (i.e., $1 donation will generate $1 in Federal funding back to the
disproportionate hospitals).
CCRMC is a disproportionate hospital eligible for reimbursement under this
program.
The California Medical Assistance Commission (CMAC) is responsible for
administration of SB-1255. The Commission solicits the donations and
distributes the funds collected through the Medi-Cal contracting processing.
ISSUES:
Issue 1: The State SB-1255 Plan may be disallowed at the Federal level.
Discussion: If a disallowance were to occur, some part of the "increased"
Federal share might be required to be reimbursed.
Issue 2: Facilities which make a "voluntary" donation are not guaranteed of
return of either the matching Federal funds or the donation itself.
Discussion: SB-1255 is intended to provide a workable program. If the most
"needy" facilities in the State make donations and do not receive
back, at a minimum $1.50 for each $1.00 donation, the program will
fail. While, because of Federal restrictions, the State cannot
guarantee the return of the transferred funds, it is the intent of the
program that no "donating" facility will be disadvantaged.
To date, the Medi-Cal Commission has held twelve rounds of voluntary
Donations and supplemental contract negotiations. CCRMC has voluntarily
contributed a total of$39,250,000; supplemental Medi-Cal contract
payments have been $67,300,000.

DATE: April 17, 2000 Coirity
SUBJECTt Agreement with the State of California to Reimburse the Sheriff for Security
Services to be provided for the 2000 Contra Costa Count( Fair.
.SPECIFIC RZQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) ft BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
1. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize the Sheriff or his designee to execute, on behalf of the County, a contract in the
amount of $24,000 with the 23rd Agricultural District of the State of California to provide
security services for the 2000'Contra Costa County Fair.
Il. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There will be no financial impact on the County. All expenditures will be reimbursed by
the State of California.
111. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION:
The Sheriff has provided police/security services for the Contra Costa County Fair for the
past sixteen (16)years at no cost to the County. The 2V Agricultural District of the State.
of California is requesting that the Sheriff again provide these services for this year's fair.
Security services will be provided by Reserve Sheriff's Deputies on a per-diem basis. The
contract will provide for reimbursement to the Sheriff for up to one-thousand, one-hundred
hours of security service.This contract is authorized pursuant to Government Code section
26226(a).
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Failure to authorize this action will leave the 2000 Contra Costa County Fair without
security services, since the fairgrounds are located in unincorporated territory,the Sheriff
is responsible for providing police services for this area. Without contracted security,the
Sheriff's law enforcement response for services would be increased,thereby incurring non-
reimbursed costs to the County. The amount of these costs would be based on the
number of problems or calls for services which occur during the five (5) day fair.

FROM: Warren E. Rupf, Sheriff-Coroner County
DATE: April 6, 2000
SUBJECT: Grant Application, Safety Vests
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
1. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to apply for a grant in the
amount of$56,000 to partially fund the cost of safety vests purchased from June 1, 2000 to
June 30, 2003, for law enforcement officers employed by the County, and to execute a
contract to accept such funding if awarded.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Federal funding is available to offset 50% of the cost of protective vests approved by the
National Institute of Justice and purchased for use by law enforcement officers. The
availability of this funding will reduce the County cost of these essential purchases. The
application submitted in 1999 for this program was partially funded. Reimbursement is
provided after purchase is made from appropriated funds; matching funds are within
FY2000/01 target budgets.
III. BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
The Federal Bulletproof Vest Partnership has again announced the availability of funding to assist
in the purchase of safety vests approved by the National Institute of Justice. The County is
defined as a "jurisdiction" for the purpose of this funding, with one application per jurisdiction
permitted. The Sheriffs Office is by far the largest purchaser of safety vests among the County
agencies and applied last year on behalf of the County agencies with law enforcement powers.
The prior application was partially funded, and this year's application, if fully funded, would
complement that award to provide support for safety vests for law enforcement personnel in the
Sheriffs Office as well as other County agencies such as Probation and the Fire Districts.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this application is not approved fewer safety vests will be purchased with appropriated funds.
