Date: September 13,2005
Subject: Extension of Emergency Declaration Regarding Homelessness
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Recommendation:
CONTINUE with the emergency action originally taken by the Board on November 16, 1999 regarding
%00
the issue of homelessness in Contra Costa County.
BackEround:
Government Code Section 8630 required that, for a body that meets weekly that the need to continue
the emergency declaration be reviewed at least every 14 days until the local emergency is terminated.
In no event is the review to take place more than 21 days after the previous review.
With the continuing inclement weather and no additional resources having been able to be placed on
line to assist in sheltering homeless individuals and families, it is appropriate for the Board to continue
the declaration of a local emergency regarding homelessness.
On November 16, 1999, the Board of Supervisors declared a local emergency, pursuant to the
provisions of Government Code Section 8630, on homelessness in Contra Costa County. This local
emergency was extended on September 13, 20050
