BACKGROUND:

The County Administrator's Office is responsible for the development and administration of the County's Administrative Bulletins, which set forth County policy on general business matters including budget and fiscal matters, payroll and timekeeping, personnel, property and equipment, and purchasing. All Administrative Bulletins are approved by the County Administrator.

Staff of the County Administrator's Office have drafted proposed revisions to the Administrative Bulletin 110.4 Legislation, which was established in 1982. (Attachment A)

As a unit of the state government, Contra Costa County is greatly affected by both state and federal legislation and regulation. Regular sessions of the California Legislature and Congress are held biennially. Many of the bills introduced and enacted into law, including budget bills and trailer bills, directly impact the operations of county government, as do ballot measures that are passed by voters. Recognizing the need for consistency in conveying the County’s positions on federal and state legislative and regulatory matters and to provide an effective program of legislative representation, Contra Costa County coordinates interactions among the Board of Supervisors, the County Administrator’s Office, County departments/agencies, County advisory bodies, and the County’s contract legislative advocates in Sacramento and Washington, D.C.

The proposed revisions to Administrative Bulletin 110.4 provide more explicit information and direction on the process developed in Contra Costa County for engagement on legislation, regulation, and intergovernmental relations at the state and federal levels. (Attachment B)

At its February 14, 2022 meeting, the Legislation Committee of the Board of Supervisors (Chair Burgis/Vice Chair Mitchoff) reviewed the proposed revisions and directed staff to send to the Board of Supervisors for approval.
