RECOMMENDATION
title
County Executive Officer will provide a report on pending future agenda items requested by individual Board members at the last Board meeting and will request discussion and direction regarding:

2. All Home’s proposal to provide homeless programming consultation services.
body
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Members of the Board of Supervisors have the opportunity at each Board meeting to request items for future agendas. Because the specific topic requested was not on the agenda, the remaining members of the Board did not have the opportunity to discuss these requests due to the Brown Act. Two requests have been made. They are: 1) a request to discuss whether the Napa County Ordinance No. 1263 should be modified to recognize a different metric for calculating Supervisor salaries; and 2) discuss whether the County should contract with a regional consultant for homeless programming services.
PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS
1. Staff Report
2. Public Comments
3. Motion, second, discussion and vote on the item.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The proposed action is not a project as defined by 14 California Code of Regulations 15378 (State CEQA Guidelines) and therefore CEQA is not applicable.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On June 15, 2005, the Board of Supervisors approved Ordinance No. 1263, which set the salary of members of the Napa County Board of Supervisors as equal to 47.09% of the salary of judges of the Superior Court.
Superior Court Judge salary increases are linked to those received by other state employees pursuant to the provisions of Government Code Section 68203, Subdivision (a), and set by the California Department of Human Resources (CalHR). CalHR then informs the Judicial Council of California if there is a salary increase for an upcoming fiscal year. Many jurisdictions, including Napa County, use this information to calculate any changes for various elected officials who commonly have salaries tied to these changes by Ordinance.
Human Resources has identified four alternative calculation options for the Board’s consideration, if interested (attachment). Staff estimates 40-120 of labor and is dependent upon the alternative selected.
In July, All Home Board members Ken Kirkey and Tomiquia Moss presented on the work of All Home’s Regional Impact Council and the Regional Action Plan it has developed to drastically reduce the number of people experiencing housing insecurity and unsheltered homelessness over the next three years.
All Home has two requests of Napa County: The first is an endorsement their Regional Action Plan. The second is to direct staff to participate in the “1-2-4 Technical Committee.”
A roundtable of policymakers, key affordable housing, social equity and economic mobility stakeholders, housing and homelessness service providers, and business and philanthropic partners:
Phase I (Regional Action Plan): First-of-its-kind regional plan tackling homelessness and housing insecurity (Spring 2021)
Phase 2: Regional goals for systems change to truly disrupt homelessness and improve economic and social mobility for ELI individuals (early 2022)
After the Board presentation in July, County staff connected All Home to the local providers, the Continuum of Care organizations and to the City of Napa.
