` ,SUBJECT: Amend Contract with IKON Office Solutions for Case Stored Text
Automated Retrieval Project (CaseSTAR) Services.
BACKGROUND:
In April of 2005, the Employment and Human Services Department (EHSD) contracted
with IKON Office Solutions to provide Case Stored Automated Retrieval (CaseSTAR), a
process for automating the existing paper case records to maximize staff resources and
improve client services. CaseSTAR has enabled access to client case records by all
caseworkers in the Client Service Centers and has resulted in increased staff efficiency
and a reduction in costs currently associated with record maintenance and service
delivery.
This amendment will permit IKON Office Solutions to provide ongoing maintenance of
the CaseSTAR systems.

THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
Date: March 6, 2007 Public Comment
On this date, the following Consent Items were removed for discussion by:
1. Sue Lembert, AFSCME 512, made reference to Consent Item 57 and said the
County is spending millions of dollars scanning sending documents out from
Employment and Human Services which involves no specialized skill and said
this should be done by County Employees and asked the Board to tell the
Department Heads that wasteful contracts should not be tolerated and that they
must be terminated. She went on to say the implied threat last week for the next
contract negotiations would be much difficult than those just settled and
employees and retirees would have their health benefits cut. She explained the
Board is doing these employees a huge disservice by allowing wasting corruption
on one hand and then trying to balance that out by slashing health care benefits.
She referred to recent contract negotiations where an agreement was signed with
the County wherein the Board approved the County Human Resources would
meet with the Labor Coalition to discuss the use of temporaries and contract
employees. She said despite repeated efforts by the Labor Coalition, County
Human Resources has failed to schedule discussions as per their written
agreements which were to begin no later than January 31, 2007. Ms. Lembert
requested the Board to direct Human Resources to fulfill their obligations.
Ms. Lembert made reference to Consent Item 44 on implementing which was supposed to
be January 31, 2007 and requested the Board to direct an implementation date on getting
the benefits out to members.
• Regarding Consent Item 57 Supervisor Gioia suggested directing staff to return
with proper information. He noted the county should continue this contract
arrangement only if it believes if it is more cost-effective than doing it internally.
• Regarding Consent Item 44 Supervisor Piepho asked Ms. Lembert to return with
information on"bogus" and "corrupt" contracts referred to and give these to her
direct. She said she would hand these to the Internal Operations Committee.
2. Roland Katz, Public Employees Union, Local 1 spoke on the issue of retiree
healthcare costs and said it is important for all to realize the only reason this number
is of such concern because healthcare costs in this country have far exceeded the
increase in wages and in general inflation. He said the problem he sees is not because
public employees contribute to members of the Board of Supervisors,just as they
contribute to County Tax Collector and others but because healthcare inflation has
increased in such an uncontrollable rate. He said the solution is not slicing benefits.
He said the only solution to this is a national solution that addresses healthcare costs
and universal healthcare.
Roland Katz, Public Employees Union, Local 1 spoke regarding Consent Item 40 and
said these positions are needed and requested the Board to make these permanent
positions rather than project positions.
3. Clinton Benton, spoke on Consent Item 47 and said he supported this item.
