FROM:
TOM POWERS, 1st District Supervisor Costa
DATE: County
August 12, 1986
SUBJECT:
California Conservation Corps Moving To Contra Costa County
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors supports the
proposed move of the California Conservation Corps from Treasure Island
to Contra Costa County.
BACKGROUND:
The California Conservation Corps' (CCC) current lease with the
Navy expires in December, 1987. Since a significant amount of the CCC's
activities take place in the East Bay, it has been looking for a new
site in both Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. At a July 23, 1986
meeting, the CCC made a 90 day commitment to pursue the acquisition of
the Fairmede Elementary School located in Richmond. This site would be
the headquarters for the CCC's operations in five counties including .
Contra Costa, Alameda, San Francisco, Marin, and San Mateo and would
house between 72 and 100 young adults. It should be understood that the
CCC already helps the East Bay by stationing two fire-fighting units
here for six months of the year. More importantly, the CCC instills
young people with a sense of community responsibility while providing
many useful and needed services for the community. By moving the
headquarters to Contra Costa County, the CCC would also be bringing over
$500,000 worth of business to local venders. The CCC move to Contra
Costa County would therefore prove to be a great asset to the people of
this county.
