Supervisor Ken Carlson of Contra Costa County provided an overview of county operations, challenges, and initiatives during a presentation to the Clayton City Council. He discussed the county’s $7.25 billion budget, highlighting significant funding for health services, employment and human services, and public works. He noted the impact of federal legislation, HR 1, which threatens to leave over 93,000 residents without health insurance and could reduce hospital and clinic funding by over $500 million. In response, the county has expanded its CARES program to provide basic healthcare coverage to those who do not qualify for Medi-Cal or Covered California. Supervisor Carlson also addressed the county’s non-cooperation policy with ICE, a policy under development in compliance with state guidelines. | |||
He highlighted the growth of A3, a mental health and crisis response program, and noted progress in reducing homelessness, with a decrease of 583 individuals in shelters and housing. Supervisor Carlson also shared the county’s efforts during the pandemic, including the use of FEMA reimbursement to fund community impact grants, which supported 25 organizations in District 4. | |||
During the Q&A, Councilmember Jim Diaz asked about the Public Safety Protection Committee and the role of the county in appointing department heads. Supervisor Carlson explained that the committee oversees community warning systems, immigration policy, and probation, and clarified that while the county appoints most department heads, roles such as the sheriff and registrar are not appointed by the county. | |||
Councilmember Kim Trupiano inquired about the Airport Committee’s role, and Supervisor Carlson explained that it oversees both Buchanan Field and Byron Field, including efforts to promote economic development through drone technology and the sale of unleaded aviation fuel. | |||
Public comment followed, with residents raising concerns about the delayed hearing for the Peacock Creek Townhouse appeal, the use of hazardous materials near Diablo View Middle School, and the management of the Concerts in the Grove series. Staff responded to these concerns, explaining the status of the appeal, the use of pesticides at the park, and the county’s efforts to manage the pest control program safely. | |||

==== Item 6: Reports ==== | |||
The City Council discussed the City Manager's Report and City Council/Committees Reports, focusing on the city's investment policy compliance and financial management. The council approved the minutes from the October 6th meeting with a 5-0 vote. The City Manager presented a detailed report on the city's investment portfolio, which had been out of compliance with the investment policy from December 2023 through December 2024 due to excessive concentration in certificates of deposit and share certificates. The portfolio was restructured in March 2025 into U.S. Treasury securities and cash investments, resulting in a realized loss of approximately $142,000 but generating $947,000 in net investment earnings over the 10 quarters covered in the catch-up report. The city currently holds $15.9 million in total cash and investments and has sufficient projected resources to meet its anticipated 6-month expenditures. | |||
Council members raised questions about the nature of the funds, the impact of the restructuring, and the use of AI tools to streamline reporting. The City Manager explained that the funds include both general and designated purposes, and the reserve is included in the $15.9 million. He also highlighted the use of AI technology to improve the efficiency and accuracy of investment reporting, enabling timely quarterly updates. | |||
Public comment included concerns about the low interest rates on previous investments, the $142,000 loss, and the cost of UBS's managed services. Some speakers praised the city's efforts to correct past issues and improve transparency, while others called for continued oversight and periodic reviews of investment strategies. The council ultimately approved the reports with a 5-0 vote. | |||
