Ralph Hernandez, Antioch resident and Chair of Citizens for Democracy, feels the Cities should contribute to absorb County costs;

  Dr. Walker, Health Services Director, presented the staff report. He informed the Board that daily conferences are being held with Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the 13 Bay Area Health Departments. He said the five school closures in Contra Costa County (all elementary schools) were revised to seven days instead of fourteen, and that guidelines for school closures would continue to be evaluated. He said health authorities are cautiously optimistic because it appears at this time that the H1N1 virus is relatively mild, similar to the seasonal ‘flu.

Dr. Brunner, Public Health Director, said health officials will remain vigilant in learning everything possible about this new virus. He said the virus is known to be susceptible to the drug Tamiflu ™, of which the County’s allocation from the federal stockpile has already been distributed for use, with more available should it be needed. He said he is confident the County supply is adequate to fill prescriptions.

Kate Fowlie, Contra Costa County Health Services Department, said in addition to the websites, agencies are making use of new social media outlets including podcasts, Facebook ™ and Twitter™ with very positive results. She noted that www.cchealth.org is available in English and Spanish and is updated daily.

  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.

  Julie Enea, County Administrator’s Office, presented the staff report. She said the response includes a preface to provide better context for the County’s responses.

Lionel Chatman, County Probation Officer, said he was taken aback by the Grand Jury's report. He said that our responsibility lies in the rehabilitation of youth and said a detention facility is not an appropriate place for children.

Chair Bonilla invited public comment. The following people spoke:

The Honorable Judge Lois Haight, Contra Costa County Superior Court;
Orin Allen, founder and youth advocate;
Dr. Micheal K. Grimes, Advocacy for Children;
William Doerlich, resident of San Ramon;
Rick Galvin, Cell to Cross;

The following people provided written comments:

Thomas G. Blomberg, Dean and Sheldon L. Messinger Professor of Criminology, Florida State University;
Aaron Baker, Chief, Pittsburg Police Department;
Orin T. Allen, Sr.

All the Supervisors expressed their support for the continued operation of the Orin Allan Youth Ranch Facility and dismay with the Grand Jury’s approach, which they felt to be searching for monetary savings rather than the appropriate care of the children. The said the report sought to find problems without meaningful research or acknowledgment of the benefits and accomplishments of the program.

Supervisor Piepho requested that response to Item No. 7 (page 5) be clarified to read "partially agree" with the finding; that for Item No. 1 of the recommendations (page 8), the second sentence be clarified to note it is an annual reference versus a one-time expense; and that Item No. 4 should highlight what the actual cost of closing the facility would be, with recognition of the human aspect as well as monetary.
