RESOLUTION NO. 78/ 638
The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors in all of its capacities
as the governing body of this County and of the Districts and Public
Agencies of which it is the governing body, RESOLVES THAT:
' 1. The State Legislature has enacted Chapter 292 of the Statutes of
1978 (SB-154, approved by the Governor on June 24, 1978 as an urgency
statute) to provide local agencies fiscal relief from the immediate effects
of California Constitution, Article XIIIA (Proposition 13, the uJarvis-
Gann Initiative", approved by the voters on June 6, 1978), and this
resolution is to effectuate and comply with this statute.
2. Chapter 292 enacts Government Code Sec. 16280, which requires,
as a condition of receiving the assistance provided by the Act, that local
public agencies may not provide any persons cost-of-living increases ex-
ceeding those which may be provided State employees for the 1978-79 fiscal
year.
3. This Board is resolved to implement the provisions of Chapter 29'2
so that this County and Districts and Public Agencies governed by the
Board may receive the assistance provided thereby, in order to avoid
large scale employee layoffs and to continue to be able to provide .es-
sential public services.
4. This Board therefore declares that all cost-of-living increases
beginning on or after July 1, 1978, granted in any contract, resolution
or order of this Board, or otherwise, are hereby rescinded; but if any
cost-of-living salary increase{s) in the 1978-79 fiscal year is/are pr9-
vided for State employees,this Board may reinstate such cost-of-living
increases as Government Code 16280 permits, not to exceed that originally
provided.
5. This Resolution is an emergency action. Article XIIIA becomes
fiscally effective on July 1, 1978. The revenues of the County and of
all other agencies governed by this Board will be cut off or_ drastically
reduced beginning on July 1, 1978. Chapter 292 is effective as an
urgency statute. Under these circumstances, there is and has not been
time to give notice, to meet with contracting person, or to properly
arrange the affairs of the County or the other agencies before taking
this action.
