RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2014/11 authorizing Contra Costa County Employment and Human Services Department to receive state summary criminal history information and federal level criminal history information.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None

BACKGROUND:

The Employment and Human Services Department sends applicants and new employees for state level Department of Justice background checks. When these background checks are completed the results are sent to the Human Resources Department. This resolution will allow the Employment & Human Services Department to receive state and federal level summary criminal history information directly from the State Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This change will make the recruitment process more efficient. These background checks will only be obtained under the appropriate circumstances for applicants and new employees.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Employment and Human Services Department will not be able to receive summary criminal history information for employment candidates or new employees.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
