Deputy Co n5:der F OFFICE OF COUNTY COUNSEL 651 Pine Street, 9th Floor Martinez, California 94553 646-2074 Date: July 19, 1990 To: Board of Supervisors l � / From: Victor J. Westman, County Counsel �J( Ulp sobi: Pending County Initiatives On July 16, 1990, the County Clerk filed his certifications on the pending "Land Use Initiative for the Unincorporated Area of Contra Costa County" (the Land Use Initiative) and the "County Initiative to Adopt Marsh Creek Corridor Preservation Area" (the Marsh Creek initiative). To require action by the Board of Supervisors, an initiative petition must be signed by not less than in number 10% of the entire vote cast in the County for all candidates for governor in the last gubernatorial election preceding the publication of notice of intent to circulate the involved initiative petition. The Clerk has indicated that this 10% number is 25,123. The Clerk's certifications indicate that the petition for the Land Use Initiative contains 28,726 valid signatures and that the Marsh Creek Initiative contains 35,466 valid signatures. Because both initiative petitions meet the minimum 10% valid voter signature requirement, Elections Code § 3711 requires that the Board of Supervisors take one or more of the following actions concerning each petition: 1. Adopt the Initiative(s). Since both initiative petitions have qualified, the Board of Supervisors may pass one or both without change. 2. County Reports. Pursuant to Elections Code § 3705.5, the Board may refer one or both of the initiative measures to a county agency or agencies for a report or reports on their fiscal impact, effects on the County's General Plan and Zoning, or any other matter the Board requests be reported on. Any report(s) must be presented to the Board within any time prescribed but in no event later than 30 days after the Clerk has certified (July 16, 1990) the sufficiency of the petitions. 3. Calling Elections. If the Board does not adopt the initiatives without change or upon the receipt of any ordered report or reports, the Board must submit the initiatives to the voters at the next state-wide election occurring not less than 88 days after the date of its election order. The election or elections could be called on or before August 9, 1990 without interfering with State of California } ( ss. County of Contra Costa ) I, STEPHEN L. WEIR, County Clerk, County of Contra Costa, State of California, do hereby certify that I did examine the LAND USE INITIATIVE FOR THE UNINCORPORATED AREA OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY and find that said petition contains 28 , 726 valid signatures of registered voters within Contra Costa County.
