Advisory Board: MEASURE X COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARD
Subject: Measure X Needs Assessment and Program Evaluation Updates
Presenter: Jessica Shepard, Deputy County Administrator
Information:
Measure X, approved by voters in November 2020, established a countywide half-cent sales tax to keep Contra Costa’s regional hospital open and staffed; fund community health centers; provide timely fire and emergency response; support crucial safety-net services; invest in early childhood services; protect vulnerable populations; and for other essential county services.
On June 10, 2025 the Board of Supervisors directed an allocation for a countywide Needs Assessment and Program Evaluation. This effort is intended to build upon past needs assessments, strengthen data-driven decision-making and assess the effectiveness of existing Measure X-funded programs.
The County Administrator’s Office conducted a competitive procurement process in accordance with County policies. Following this process, Raimi + Associates, an Alta Group, was selected to lead the Needs Assessment and Program Evaluation.
On April 15, 2026 the MXCAB received an overview presentation from Raimi + Associates on the Measure X Needs Assessment and Program Evaluation and conducted a listening session to provide feedback, ask clarifying questions, and offer input to inform the consultant’s work.
Today the MXCAB will receive updates from staff on the Measure X Needs Assessment and Program Evaluation.
