TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS �_E CONTRA COSTA
COUNTY
FROM: WILLIAM B. WALKER, M.D. s;
HEALTH SERVICES DIRECTOR
DATE: MARCH 5,2001
SUBJECT: CCRMC POLICY 600 AMENDMENT
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Recommendation:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE an amendment to Policy 600 "Compensation For Loss Or
Damage To Hospital And Health Center Patient/Visitor Property"of the Contra Costa
Regional Medical Center(CCRMC) to allow for reimbursement by petty cash of certain
parking violations issued to patients and visitors at CCRMC.
Background:
On January 6,2001,Contra Costa Regional Medical Center implemented a three-hour parking
limitation to areas identified as "Patient and Visitor Parking." An agreement was reached
with the Martinez Police Department to patrol those areas and issue citations to vehicles that
exceed the three-hour limit. This action was taken to increase parking for our patients and
visitors by discouraging employee parking in those spaces.
There are infrequent instances where the length of patient appointments exceeds the three-
hour parking limit. Hence,Martinez Police cites their vehicles. In such cases,a process must
be in place to allow reimbursement to patients and visitors whom, through no fault of their
own,receive parking citations while at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center. Our proposed
amendment to Policy No. 600 would create that process.
Fiscal Impact:
None.
