SUBJECT: Local Agency Formation Commission Employee Benefits Administration
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE attached Resolution 2008/210 permitting LAFCO employees to continue
to participate in County administered benefit programs in exchange for LAFCO's continued
reimbursement to the County for the full costs of the LAFCO employees' participation in these
programs.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact. LAFCO will reimburse the County for the costs of employee participation.
BACKGROUND:
The Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 2000 requires that Local
Agency Formation Commissions (LAFCO) be independent of the County. Furthermore,
Government Code § 56384(a) stipulates that the Executive Officer must be appointed and employed
by LAFCO, and may appoint other staff as needed. Contra Costa LAFCO is currently staffed with an
Executive Officer and a Secretary-Advanced Level who is a County employee that is charged to
LAFCO. LAFCO would like to exercise its' right under Government Code § 56384(a) to appoint the
Secretary-Advanced Level to a LAFCO position.
LAFCO staff has been participating in County benefit programs as County employees. The
combination of LAFCO's 2007-2 Resolution and attached Resolution 2008/210 provides a benefit
package for LAFCO employees and access to County administered programs. In addition,
Government Code § 56385 provides that LAFCO may provide for health and medical benefits for its
employees and that LAFCO must preserve the vacation, sick leave and compensatory time accruals,
