SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND, AND JUSTIFICATION
BACKGROUND
On June 2, 1987, you approved a Finance Committee recommendation
for the County Administrator to develop a plan for a measure on
the November 3 ballot for financing additional police services.
The intent was to make .preparations for a ballot measure to be
presented to a particular area' s voters to secure their
authorization for an• additional special tax on property to fund
police protection services including burglary, investigation and
patrol. In addition, a second measure would appear on the ballot
as an advisory vote only as to whether the Board of Supervisors
should initiate proceedings to levy an additional tax as
condition of future new development to fund police protection
services.
This election process would be available to be used in any
unincorporated area of the county. Supervisor Torlakson has
brought to the attention of the Board the areas in East County
where this concept might be implemented. The Discovery Bay area
(CSA M-8) and the greater Bethel Island area should be considered
for a November ballot measure.
RECOMMENDATION
Set August 4, 1987, at 10: 30 a.m. for a public hearing to
consider the , feasibility of adopting an ordinance to provide
authority to levy the special tax for additional police services
in the Discovery Bay and Bethel Island areas. The ordinance, if
adopted, would be subject to the approval of the electorate
within the boundaries of Discovery Bay (CSA M-8) and greater
Bethel Island at the November 3 , 1987 election.
