it is recommended that the Board of Supervisors ADOPT a position of support

BACKGROUND
AB 1335 which has been introduced this legislative session provides for the
State Department of Veteran Affairs to contract with three counties, Contra
Costa being one of the three, for the veterans service officers of each
county to conduct a 2-year study of veterans receiving hospital, nursing
home and domiciliary care and transmit this information to the Federal
Veterans ' Administration so that the V.A. may provide contributions toward
these veterans' care as required by law. The bill provides an appropria-
tion of $25,000 for each county for fiscal year 1985-1986 in order to
implement this study.
During the fiscal year 1985-1986 budget hearings, the Veteran Service
Officer advised that the funding provided for in AB 1335 would be used to
fund an additional Veteran Service Representative to carry out the study.
The Budget Committee indicated their support of AB 1335 and requested that
the County Administrator notify the appropriate legislators of the County' s
support.
