RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller to pay up to $1,000 for expenses incurred by the Clerk-Recorder, the designated Chair of the 2015 Contra Costa County Combined Charities Campaign, to promote the annual County Combined Charities Campaign.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Cost will be covered 100% by the General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The Clerk-Recorder has been chosen to chair the 2015 Combined Charities Campaign for Contra Costa County. This is the annual drive to promote charitable giving among County employees. This year’s theme is “Your Change Can Make a Change”. To invigorate the annual event, the department has arranged a luncheon to be held for the 47 County coordinators and weekly raffle prizes, to incentivize the effort. I am recommending that the Clerk-Recorder be authorized to expend, and the Auditor-Controller be authorized to pay up to $1000 for these purposes. The goal is to increase donations by 7.5% to $160,600.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Clerk-Recorder-Elections Department will not be reimbursed for expenses related to the Annual Combined Charities Campaign.
