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

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,
