FISCAL IMPACT The fiscal impact cannot be determined at this stage. A review on the contracting procedure could result in taxpayer savings. BACKGROUND It has been the practice of Contra Costa County to contract out for services when certain situations have arisen: such as lack of staff, expertise in problem-solving, or assistance on a project. There have been questions on procedure and the total value of these contracts in certain departments that may have been excessive, especially given the current fiscal climate for the county. The County must ensure that such contracts align with and consider the County's salary scale for comparable job classes, if available.
