DATE: August 15 , 1985 County
INFORMATIONAL CAMPAIGN REGARDING COUNTY BUDGET
SUBJECT:
SPECIFIC: REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) 8c BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Many county programs we provide have
been hit severely by cuts over the past few years and their future is
Jeopardized because of continuing state and federal cutbacks and lack
of revenue in the county budget. I believe it is important to inform
the 'cities of our county of the severe problems we face in our budget
and in our ability to continue to provide services to the citizens of
their incorporated area.
An informational campaign and a direct appeal to the city
councils to help fund such programs' as drug and alcohol prevention ad
children' s programs needs to be made.
. I believe the human Services Advisory Commission in conjunction
with the Children' s Advocacy Task Force and the Contractor ' s Alliance
would be able to put together a 'very informative presentation which
could be rotated among the cities of the county during the coming
year. I know the cities in my district would appreciate a
presentation along these lines.
District Supervisors in each part of the county may wish to
attend these presentations to lend extra support to the county effort.
The cities must become co-funding partners in many of the
services that we provide. Two other cities where this- program might
be initiated early in the year would be Pleasant Hill and Lafayette
who have realized a significant windfall gain through SB 1091 .
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve in concept the development- of an
informational campaign through the auspices of the_County Administrator.
