County Administrator Coda
DATE: CO^' "!
July 1, 1987
SUBJECT:
LEGISLATION - AB 639 (KILLEA)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position of support for AB, 639 by Assemblywoman. Lucy Killea which
would authorize, subject to approval by the voters, $200 million, to the
State Coastal Conservancy to finance a coastal resources . conservation
program. Of the total in bonds authorized by AB 639, $25 million would
have to be spent for, projects in the San Francisco Bay region.
BACKGROUND:
The State Coastal Conservancy has broad powers to protect, restore, and
enhance natural resources within the State' s waterfront areas and to
reduce conflicts among competing users. AB 639 would authorize
additional funds to increase the utilization of the State' s shorefront,
beaches and streams in a manner which is compatible with the State' s
goals for environmental quality. AB 639 notes that the shoreline of
California along with its associated beaches and streams contain some of
the most valuable lands in the State for a variety of uses and .purposes,
including fishing, as habitat for wildlife and plants, passive and active
recreation, commerce and industry, science„and cultural activities. The
bill goes on to note that these lands have been overutilized and have
been the scene of competition and confrontation among users.
The Director of Community Development . recommends that the Board of
Supervisors support AB 639 because it can be expected that Contra Costa
County will receive some of the funding from the bonds for a variety of
potential projects in the western portion of the county. AB 639 has
passed the Assembly and is awaiting a committee assignment in the Senate.
