Item no. 2 is an ordinance appropriating approximately 31. 5 million in order to support in home supportive services, cal works and other Program Expenditures in fiscal year 20132014. Madam clerk, why dont we move on to Public Comment . Anyone wish to comment on items 1 or 2 . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Supervisor avalos, if you want to talk. I dont know what to say. I feel like were pretty far apart. I dont in any way want to hamstring the Human Services agency on Core Missions and clearly theres a need for ensuring that people can access the Many Services that are provided, cal fresh, medical, and income support as well as all the job training. But i feel like its pretty far apart between the recommendations from the budget analyst and the department. One idea im thinking is there a way to perhaps, you know, put money on reserve, on Budget Committee reserve, and get a report on actual hiring of new staff to implement these new programs and Service Integration and, you kno
Do an iterative process within the department. Its not as if the need isnt there and we are just spending it, the need is there and the reason i made the comment about state and federal because were fortunate, finally, we havent been the last 5 or 6 years, where we didnt get funding. Now they have the money to do it and they are providing it to counties. So if we dont spend it that means maybe contra costa gets more money. If we dont draw down the money from the state and we still have to meet a mandate. Thats right. Either we meet our mandates not as well or we dont meet our mandates or in the case of ihhs, which is a great example, we have a mandate to reassess every ihhs consumer once a year. We are reassessing 48 percent of our ihhs consumers every year because we dont have the case workers to do it. Theres a 31. 5 million allocation from the state, our recommendation is to reduce it by 134,000 for certain administrative costs. I believe the department agreed to that. The positions
Been for 9 years with a 6year option to extend. Rather than only extend for 6 years because these facilities are so critical to our operators and other field staff, we decided to negotiate a 10 year lease with a 10 year option to renew. So that is what is before you today. We weigh the advantages and came up with the 20 year lease. The first year rent is 7,920, increasing 3 percent per year with a proposed 10 year extension through december 31, 2033. And the rent payments are a total of 212,813 over 20 years under the proposed lease, which is, if you look at the net present value which the Budget Analyst Office did, there is a savings of 13,835 over the 20 years. So i would be happy to answer any questions. Okay, colleagues, any questions . Okay, mr. Rose, can we go to your report, please . Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, let me start off by saying that our recommendation to approve was a close call in our office which i have previously explained to the supervisors. As you n

Good morning, regarding the audits, we go through annual audits with the Controllers Office. And the emphasis of the audits have been taken a little bit of a interdepartmental emphasis and we would like to work with them to change the dynamics and so we are working with the csa unit.
