David Twa, County Administrator, presented the staff report.
Supervisor Uilkema requested a more detailed response to the Grand Jury’s finding No. 5 “ Most larger County governmental employers provide their employees with extraordinarily generous retiree health benefits.”
Supervisor Piepho said she would like to see more information to illustrate past actions and conditions that led to the County’s current financial status in regard to retiree benefits, as well as a big-picture description of what the County is doing to move forward. She said the report could use more of a conclusion or wrap-up in its response.
Lisa Driscoll, Finance Director, said there is sufficient time to revise the response for the Board’s review.
Chair Bonilla invited the public to comment. The following person spoke:
Rollie Katz, Public Employees' Union Local One; Ralph Hernandez, retired Contra Costa County employee.
