Citygate reviewed the proposed tax sharing agreement between Contra Costa County and one incorporated city within the County. This review compared the current tax sharing agreement and the proposed amendment to the current agreement in regard to the County’s allocation pertaining to the development recently approved by the city.

Citygate completed a high-level field operations and sheltering practices cost analysis for the Contra Costa County Animal Services Department. This study assisted the County in determining the cost efficacy of the service it provided to the 18 cities with which it contracts and whether its current service delivery policies were aligned with its reimbursement practices, especially in light of County and contract city growth and sheltering overpopulation in an environment in which citizens expect increasingly efficient and compassionate care.

Citygate executed an independent financial review of elements related to the County’s Ambulance request for proposal. Phase one consisted of evaluating the financial stability of the current Contra Costa County EMS system, while phase two consisted of a financial review of bids for service received.
