Dear Council Members:
Subject : Valley Multi Health and. liuman Service Center
RECO:K."ENDATION:
The Health and Human service providers in the Pleasanton/Livermore Valley
have spearheaded a planning process to explore ways and means to reduce
current and future facility and overhead costs . A multipurpose service
center concept has been raised as a viable alternative. We are therefcre
requesting that your Board:
-1. Support the concept of a Multi Health and Human Service Center to be
located in the Valley; and
2. Direct the appropriate city ,s-taff to enter into formal discussions with
other local city governments and the County of Alameda. These discussions
may include the development of a joint powers agreement for this purpose.
SUMMARY: ,
As specified in the attached County Administrator's memorandum to the
Board of Supervisors dated March 26th, the County has been exploring means
to maximize limited resources for health and human service delivery systems .
One mechanism which has been identified is a joint partnership for the
purpose of developing a multiservice facility in the Pleasanton/Livermore
Valley area. Under the leadership of Supervisor Ed Campbell., a Committee
of Community Based Organizations, City Covernment , and County Departments
has had a series of exploratory meetings. It is apparent that the merits
of this concept warrant more in depth and formalized discussion . During
the next two weeks , your Council as well as other local city governments
arc being approached by interested community based organizations for support
anti formal. participation on this prnjec.•t .

DISCUSSION:
As a result of mutual concerns between County and local community based
organizations regarding escalating facility cost increases of 10-17% per
year , a Task Force was convened to discuss and explore alternatives to
the current situation. Simultaneously, the County Administrator's Office
has been in the process of exploring the same issue. As a result of this
growing and common concern a Multi-Service Health and Human Service Facility
Task Force started to meet on Mar:cl 29, 1985. Since the initial meetin
and the four subsequent meetings the Task Force had the. participation of
local cities--Pleasanton, Dublin, and Livermore; four CBOs--Valley Volunteer
Center , Valley Community Health Center, The Center , and Parental Stress;
County Departments--County Administrator's Office , Health Care Services
Agency, and Public Works.- Leadership on this endeavor has been shared by
Supervisor Ed Campbell and Ms. Joyce Berger , Executive% Director, Valley
Community Health Center . A roster 'of participants is attached.
Preliminary discussion identified two major advantages' to be gained from the
development of a multiservice facility through a public/private joint venture.
One major advantage is the ability to predict and control long term facility
costs. Secondly, such a joint venture would provide the ability to leverage
private philanthropic and public funds through a private/public partnership.
For example, the County could request AB 830 health facility financing which
in turn could be leveraged by community based organizations to secure matching
funds from private and public foundations.
At this time, the informal planning process needs to be formalized in order
to proceed with this concept. It is for this reason that we are now
approaching your Council for support on the concept . During the next two
weeks other members of the Task Force will also be approaching other city
councils to request their support and participation.
It is envisioned that the next steps in the planning process are: 1) Formalize
Talk Force Membership--identify other participants ; 2) Develop a concept paper;
3) Develop a facility plan; 4) Explore site locations ; and 5) Develop a
C4 package. We will report back to your Council as each of the steps
is completed.

Dear Board Members:
Subject: Valley Multi-Health and Human Service Center
Recommendations:
1. That your Board approve Recommendations #1 and #2 of the attached letter submitted
by the Director of the Health Care Services Agency; and
2. That your Board adopt as your own the following two concepts as conditions upon
which future County commitment to the proposed Multi-Health and'Human Services
Center would be based:
o That it can be incorporated into the County's future plans for providing health
and human services to Valley residents
o That it is justified economically on a cost-effectiveness basis, when compared to
the other capital expenditure needs of the County
Summary:
As is evidenced by my March 26, 1985 memorandum to your Board (attached to HCSA letter),
I believe that the County should explore all means available to control the operating
expenditures of County and CBO operations. On March 29, 1985, my staff along with staff
from the Health Care Services Agency began meeting with Supervisor Campbell and members
of local government and community-based organizations in the Valley to identify ways in
which to control operating overhead. These discussions have led to the proposed
development of a Valley Multi-Health and Human Service Center in the Dublin/Livermore
Valley area. I am recommending that your Board approve the recommendations of the
Director of the Health Care Services Agency, provided that the two concepts I have
detailed in my recommendation are adopted.
Discussion and Findings:
Both the anticipated loss of revenue sharing and the escalating leases and rents paid by
the County and the community-based organizations under contract to the County for
buildings, make it imperative that we control our operating overhead. One way of
accomplishing this is for the County to develop or purchase its own buildings. The
development of our own building offers a number of distinct advantages. Three major
advantages are:
1221 OAK STREET • SUITE 555 OAKLAND CALIFORNIA 94612 . 14151 674.6252
Board of Supervisors -2- June 13, 1985
o Maximum employee efficiency and productivity through buildings designed for the
purpose for which they are to be used
o Design features which take advantage of the most recent utility enhancements to
which reduce operating costs
o Capped rental costs which can be budgeted for with certainty
However, the development of new County buildings requires a major expenditure of County
funds and a long-term commitment by the County to the use of such facilities. As I
outlined to you in my letter of April 29, 1985, the County has developed an extensive
capital projects program plan. This plan identifies a total construction cost,
Countywide, of more than $191 million; a total available funds projection of slightly
over $92 million; and a financing shortfall of $99 million. The facility proposed by
the Director of the Health Care Services Agency was not contained in the long-range
capital projects plan presented to your Board.
While I support the goal of the Valley Multi-Services Center Task Force, I am suggesting
the following two concepts as criteria for determining future County commitment to the
Center:
o That it complements the County's long-term commitment to providing health and
human services to Valley residents
o That it is justified economically on a cost-effectiveness basis, when compared to
the overall capital expenditure needs of the County
Provided that your Board sets as conditions these concepts, I am recommending that the
Agency Director pursue discussions with community-based organizations and local
governments to determine the feasibility of the development of a new Valley Multi-Health
and Human Service Center.
Financing:
No specific financial impact has been identified at this time.
Very truly yours,
