The Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa County resolves as follows :
A. BACKGROUND, FINDINGS .
1 . The County of Contra Costa has conducted an extensive and
exhaustive analysis of its services, the costs reasonably borne of
providing those services, the beneficiaries of those services , and the
revenues produced by those paying fees and charges for special services .
2 . The County wishes to comply with both the letter and the
spirit of Article XIIIB of the California Constitution and limit the
growth of taxes .

full costs reasonably borne of providing special services of a voluntary

services of a broad nature and used to unfairly and inequitably subsidize
special services .

No. 91-40 on August 12, 1991 , establishing its policy on the recovery of
costs , particularly, the percentage of costs reasonably borne from users

implementing said ordinance.
5 . It is the intention of the Board of Supervisors to develop,
as necessary, a revised schedule of fees and charges based on the

Year, beginning with the Fiscal Year commencing July 1 , 1991 .
6 . Pursuant to Government Code Section 66016, the specific
fees to be charged for services may be adopted by the Board of
Supervisors by Resolution, after providing notice of and holding a public
hearing at which oral and written presentations may be made, and
providing an opportunity to review the supporting data upon which the
fees are based at least 10 days before the hearing. This Board finds
that all of the requirements of Government Code Section 66016 have been
met .
