Supervisor Ken Carlson introduced a proclamation recognizing June 2025 as Pride Month and invited community partners to speak. Representatives from Clayton Pride, the RISE Center and the county’s Pride Initiative described outreach, storytelling events and library programs organized across county branches. Tom Schween of the Contra Costa Library listed family-friendly Pride activities across branches; Adrienne Safranco (Contra Costa Health Pride Initiative) described staff training and outreach, noting more than 600 county staff trained in 2024 and about 300 community members trained so far in 2025 via interdepartmental partnerships.

Supervisor Chanel Scales‑Preston introduced a Juneteenth proclamation and framed it as both recognition and a call to continued work on racial equity. Peter Kim, co-director of the Office of Racial Equity and Social Justice, and Roxanne and other community leaders described community-led advocacy that led the county to declare racism a public health crisis and to authorize an African American Holistic Wellness and Resource Hub feasibility study. The board noted the hub funding and said additional planning is under way.

Assistant Sheriff Jose Beltran and Search and Rescue Team leader Walter Eichinger presented a brief recognition of the county Office of the Sheriff Search and Rescue Team’s 50 years of volunteer service; Eichinger said the team is about 200 volunteers and recognized members with decades of service.

Tracy Murray, director of Aging and Adult Services, presented a proclamation recognizing Elder/Dependent Adult Abuse Awareness Month. Murray said the county’s Adult Protective Services (APS) received 7,780 elder and dependent adult abuse reports in calendar year 2024 and assigned 6,030 for investigation; she and colleagues described prevention tips and an APS hotline number for reporting suspected abuse: (925) 299‑8434.

Supervisors commended community groups and county departments for outreach and emphasized the need to protect vulnerable residents, continue training and ensure services reach those most harmed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Contra Costa - BOARD OF SUPERVISORS on 2025-06-10 9:00 AM - Jun 10, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Supervisors proclaimed June 2025 as Pride Month, issued a Juneteenth proclamation and recognized the 50th anniversary of the Office of the Sheriff’s Search and Rescue team and June as Elder and Dependent Adult Abuse Awareness Month, with community partners and county departments summarizing outreach and services.","taxTitle","Contra Costa County, California","taxId",3335,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6548114,"Board approves temporary rehiring at CCHP and limited travel waiver for Clerk-Recorder; both pass unanimously",1410,10267000,11677000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3755394-b68e5449df0c8408c53ef06cd57c3c58&start=10267&end=11677","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3755394-b68e5449df0c8408c53ef06cd57c3c58/thumbnail_10267000.jpg","/articles/6548114/Contra-Costa-County/California/Board-approves-temporary-rehiring-at-CCHP-and-limited-travel-waiver-for-Clerk-Recorder-both-pass-unanimously","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6548114-040422d46ad9f72b1a6f3b6bfe436310/orig.mp4?Expires=1771149649&Signature=Z7Sjsw0HIUWRpj21XaQ4KiRAg-IefLkRkdxQz53I3U7uIGa6o7UrTRCWhbGrSFUqkCKW~Gbf2rqRq~uK4~NDZfmTvtesTiTfLwBBI7R1kdbhUvfFpY6Z1VjzpnAH~C1ZCE9koCH66NlZTeNDPozx7REWNIbNpvGhHTHRuxTNVL~pllCuSi7NTxHjnOpGWBgFXgBYXlbGWj-2mAp4K02FlDDxxVoBiHGMTWS7cXnNvac-lytRxBnmLx9HXVcm1anuwIPENI9Ck-k2owgUE5DvZmPds8aGkBfFu90oCQnzCy~0GZ-utFwdjzta29zG9qiycxMNdxCmId9QDSKmM3t~ug__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved two administrative items on June 10: a limited waiver to California’s 180-day rehire restriction to allow a retired Contra Costa Health Plan (CCHP) manager to return part-time, and a one-time, county travel policy waiver to permit in-county lodging and bus transportation for Clerk-Recorder staff hosting the California Association of Clerks and Elections Officials annual conference.

Irene Lowe, interim CEO of Contra Costa Health Plan, requested board approval to permit Terry Leader — a recent retiree who previously served as director of provider relations, credentialing and contracting — to return on a part-time basis as a Health Services Administrator C. Lowe said Leader’s return would support operational readiness and continuity as CCHP prepares to launch a Medicare‑Medi‑Cal dual special needs plan in January 2026. The waiver is a limited pension compliance exception; the board approved the waiver 5–0.

Clerk-Recorder Kristen Connolly asked the board to permit lodging for 13 managers and supervisors and to pay registration and bus transportation fees for 33 additional staff to attend the statewide conference hosted in San Ramon. Connolly said the request was fully supported by private grant dollars and that hosting the conference would showcase Contra Costa County. Supervisors questioned policy precedents and whether grants could be treated differently, and the County Administrator said county practice generally treats grant funds the same as other sources for travel. After discussion — and multiple supervisors expressing support for staff development and the economic benefit of hosting a statewide conference — the board approved the one-time, grant-funded travel waiver 5–0.

Both approvals included direction to staff to follow county procurement and pension rules and to return with any required documentation; no public commenters spoke against either request.","The board unanimously approved a one-time pension waiver to rehire a recently retired Contra Costa Health Plan official and authorized a limited, grant-funded travel policy waiver for the county clerk-recorder to host a statewide conference.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6548118,"Board confirms tentative fiscal-year 2025–26 EMS assessment for community service area EM‑1",186,10550000,10736000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3755394-b68e5449df0c8408c53ef06cd57c3c58&start=10550&end=10736","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3755394-b68e5449df0c8408c53ef06cd57c3c58/thumbnail_10550000.jpg","/articles/6548118/Contra-Costa-County/California/Board-confirms-tentative-fiscal-year-202526-EMS-assessment-for-community-service-area-EM1","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6548118-366e97a07a4184a176ae7593dba87218/orig.mp4?Expires=1771149649&Signature=Lm44scN0ulFJmFUfyLpfmWliIwAI056GEZMabPL9oAANeiCMD7b2cd9J4g-cBtNLGlgTKCHStCwn34dBpI0RBAFvdAF2~swvLJ3YYoK5-48mc6oL1vufQQe7ggZ1gdmKRicjR4dKkE24gFSdF9tgkGcogZ9NrADxhe-M3qSo-vZqeDp853XzaNrcyKawYuY1CnYfzT~GjwV3alJruXIHWKGnhVqTwORcrtEVb7vEly9oHX-b8SROxfQx8edF4jOVG4NnAue7A-wz4IciHoP98qcsOD18AfO2NjeXKeRejiBY5cPTiFtRakqhv3oD7cZpdMs0NhOeOTh3UaA1-2wLOQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Contra Costa County’s Board of Supervisors opened a public hearing on June 10 and adopted the tentative fiscal year 2025–26 assessment for Community Service Area EM‑1, which supports an enhanced, countywide emergency medical services (EMS) system.

Marshall Bennett, the county’s emergency medical services director, told the board the assessments fund pre-hospital advanced life support, first-responder support and EMS technology. He said proposed assessment rates were unchanged from the prior year: $3.94 per single-family-equivalent benefit unit for Zone A (San Ramon Valley) and $10.00 per benefit unit for Zone B (the rest of the county). Bennett said the Zone A lower rate reflected legacy EMS enhancement funding approved in 1988.

The board opened the public hearing and invited comments; no callers or Zoom participants offered public comment. After brief discussion the board closed the hearing and adopted Resolution No. 2025-191 to confirm the tentative report and assessment set, with the motion passing unanimously.

Adopting the tentative report is the step needed before the county prepares a final report and presents it for confirmation; that confirmation will constitute the levy of the assessments for the coming fiscal year.","The board opened and closed a public hearing, received no public comment, and adopted the county service area EM‑1 tentative assessment unchanged for FY 2025–26.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6548122,"Board directs process for $1.47 million in unallocated Measure X funds, approves study and targeted grants",7073,7323000,14396000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3755394-b68e5449df0c8408c53ef06cd57c3c58&start=7323&end=14396","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3755394-b68e5449df0c8408c53ef06cd57c3c58/thumbnail_7323000.jpg","/articles/6548122/Contra-Costa-County/California/Board-directs-process-for-147-million-in-unallocated-Measure-X-funds-approves-study-and-targeted-grants","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6548122-7ccd2942c4ea7f3c8d8fd2c4b20ea311/orig.mp4?Expires=1771149649&Signature=iOsLOaEiewAXEJWxva2IeYxTDEdMMMiNPaAJHFwqyGV8tk4mWNdanmHLZuQxF15wYrPfB20a4-Zy725Qs6cYToTkV3o3iCkP8FVvMkReW2dJSL7J9ksPW4I5jP0Cbf4xMx9Y2f3Vf0esViA-8qkcy9nrBBrclqMUX1PsMHgGfG9BnHk7AKWCl7HGV3ua-9rsff5VZ7lI70lDSN6o1~sdRUq1x8QpGMj5zNr3PCBnWyzVAdybEqmlzxtKvvO2NWY5tc7dhJIO~fVtnRGUUHEYtX5hZCux26YkrtTzGIl3LaZPUoE6toBoSNLvOL9siIEWysUeb1U-J1B-FILj1m919A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors on June 10 directed county staff to pursue a coordinated needs assessment and to move forward with a set of recommended priorities for $1,470,000 in unallocated Measure X one-time funds, approving the plan unanimously.

County Finance Director Adam Nguyen told the board the discussion focused on “next steps regarding $1,470,000 in unallocated Measure X funds.” Nguyen described the proposal to hire an external consultant to run community town halls, synthesize department-level performance data and produce an objective package for the board and the Measure X Community Advisory Board to use in future decisions. He said a consultant fee of about $250,000 was the working estimate.

The board heard extended public testimony urging direct spending on housing stability, rental assistance and food security and from the Measure X Community Advisory Board chair, Roxanne, who said the board-appointed advisory group had already worked for months on priorities and supported a rigorous, resident-centered approach. Roxanne described the board advisory body’s interest in “shared population indicators” and results-based accountability as the framework for measuring impact.

Several public commenters pressed the board to allocate funds for rental assistance and front-line prevention programs. Caitlin Tsai, CEO of the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano, described recent cuts to federal and state food programs and urged county support. Keep People Housed and tenant-advocacy organizations detailed local demand and asked for additional rental assistance to prevent evictions.

Supervisors discussed options including dedicating part of the balance to boost the countywide COLA for existing Measure X allocations, funding a consultant-led needs assessment, and setting aside targeted dollars for specific priorities such as services for African American males, parent-peer supports for families of young children with developmental delays, and food security grants. Chair Candace Anderson said she wanted a consultant-led needs assessment that would include town halls, surveys and a synthesis of departmental data.

After discussion the board approved a motion (moved by Supervisor Ken Carlson, seconded by Supervisor Diane Bergus) to: (1) authorize a neutral consultant-led needs assessment process (approximate budget estimate $250,000), (2) allocate targeted one-time sums toward priorities discussed in the meeting record, and (3) request staff to return with a more detailed workplan and procurement approach. The motion passed unanimously.

The board directed staff to work with the Measure X Community Advisory Board and the Office of Racial Equity and Social Justice to co-design the study and to bring back a recommended consultant scope, schedule and procurement plan prior to any contract award.

The board also agreed to continue a parallel conversation about how to prioritize one-time Measure X monies against other one-time funds the county holds, including prior ARPA-related reserves. Supervisors said they want the consultant to present a countywide synthesis of existing department outcomes so the public and the board can see where Measure X investments have produced measurable results and where gaps remain.

The board is expected to receive the consultant scope and procurement schedule in a future staff report and to schedule a study session on the needs-assessment approach and Measure X evaluation methodology.","The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to begin a community needs assessment and to set priorities for $1,470,000 in unallocated Measure X funds, including targeted investments in services for African American males, parent-peer support and food security.","actionData","errors"]
