HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 10062015 - C.5RECOMMENDATION(S):
CONTINUE the emergency action originally taken by the Board of Supervisors on November 16, 1999 regarding the
issue of homelessness in Contra Costa County.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
BACKGROUND:
Government Code Section 8630 required that, for a body that meets weekly, 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.
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.
With the continuing high number of homeless individuals and insufficient funding available to assist in sheltering all
homeless individuals and families, it is appropriate for the Board to continue the declaration of a local emergency
regarding homelessness.
