Health Services Department )
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors, in all its capacities as the governing body of this County
and of the districts and agencies of which it is the governing body, RESOLVES THAT:
1. The Board has considered the financial impact of reductions in funding due to loss of Retirement
Subsidy, non-recurring revenue, and other revenues,the impact of increased funding requirements,
the resultant impact on capital projects, the staffing reorganization necessary for the efficiency of
County government operations, and has considered the position and staff reduction and retention
plans submitted by the Director of Health Services.
2. In order to keep expenditures within available funding or to reorganize staffing as is necessary for
efficient operations, it is necessary to abolish, add or reduce the hours or status of the positions
described in the list attached hereto for reasons of economy, lack of funds, departmental
reorganization, or because the necessity for the position(s) involved no longer exists, and to lay off
employees accordingly. Said list is incorporated herein by reference, and said positions are hereby
abolished effective on the dates indicated thereon.
3. The Human Resources Department shall prepare lists showing the order of layoff of affected
employees.
4. The Director of Health Services shall issue layoff or displacement notices, as the case may be, and
give notice to the affected employees of the Board's action.
5. This Resolution is an emergency action. The Board has been advised that revenues for the 1995-
96 fiscal year will be less than are required to maintain existing operations and staff. Immediate
action to reduce staff will reduce the magnitude of impending staff reductions and interference with
County services. Conversely, failure to initiate layoffs will result in continued salary expenditures
that will increase the need for layoffs and the adverse impact on services in the coming fiscal year.
6. The Labor Relations Officer shall give notice of the Resolution to all recognized employee
organizations.
7. To the extent that the subject of this Resolution is within the scope of representation under the
Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (Government Code Section 3500 et seq.), this Board offers to meet with
the recognized employee organization representing affected employees upon request concerning
this resolution.
8. Recognized employee organization may submit to the Labor Relations Officer written request to
meet and confer on specific proposals with respect to this Resolution or any resulting layoffs. This
authorization and direction is given without prejudice to the Board's right to reduce or terminate the
operations and services of the County and of the Districts governed by this Board and to eliminate
classes of employees or positions as involving the merits, necessity, or organization of services or
activities of the County or Districts governed by the Board and not within the scope of
representation.
9. This action is taken without prejudice to pending consulting, meeting, and meeting and conferring
with employee organizations.
I hereby certify that this is a true and correct copy of an action
taken and entered on the minutes of the Board of Supervisors
