TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
I
FROM: Rudy Tamayo, Executive Director
DATE: May 9, 2006
SUBJECT: RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY STATEMENT
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ADOPT Resolution No. 5074 approving the Risk Management Policy Statement of the Housing
Authority of the County of Contra Costa and AUTHORIZE execution of the statement by the Executive
Director of the Housing Authority.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Housing Authority could forfeit a premium credit from its excess liability insurance carrier,
Housing Authority Risk Retention Group (HARRG), without the Risk Management Policy Statement.
III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
Housing Authority Risk Retention Group (HARRG), the Housing Authority's excess liability
insurance carrier requires a Risk Control Work Plan each year. The HARRG premium credit is based on
submission of documents supporting the implementation of risk control standards. For the 2006/07
insurance year, the Housing Authority of the County of Contra Costa will receive up to a 15% premium
reduction by submission an annual Risk Control Work Plan and adopting a Risk Management Policy
Statement.
As a part of the Risk Control Work Plan for 2006/07, HARRG is requiring that the Board adopt a
resolution establishing Risk Management as an operational priority. The attached Risk Management
Policy Statement fulfills that requirement.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Should the Board of Commissioners elect not to adopt Resolution No. 5074, the Housing Authority
could be denied a premium credit by HARRG for the 2006/07 insurance year.

RISK CONTROL POLICY STATEMENT
The safety and well being of the residents and employees of the Housing
Authority of the County of Contra Costa are of the utmost importance. Risk
Management procedures will be established and maintained to ensure that the
highest level of safety is provided for all.
It is the intention of the Housing Authority to provide safe and healthy living and
working conditions and to establish and insist upon safe practices at all times by
all residents and employees. Management considers no phase of operation or
administration as being of greater importance than accident prevention. It is the
policy of the Housing Authority, therefore, to provide and maintain operating
practices which will safeguard all residents, visitors, employees and property,
and result in safe living/working conditions and efficient operations.
Risk control is an objective affecting all levels of the organization and its
activities. It is, therefore, a basic requirement that each supervisor make the
safety of residents, visitors and employees an integral part of his/her regular
management function. It is equally the duty of each resident and employee to
accept and follow established safety regulations and procedures.
