SUBJECT:
CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATE TO PACIFIC BELL FOR ITS
SPONSORSHIP OF THE SCHOLAR-ATHLETE PROGRAM
SPECIFIC RE EST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt the attached Board Resolution commending Pacific
Bell for the outstanding community service it provides in sponsoring
the North Coast Section Scholar-Athlete Program which recognizes the
outstanding academic achievements of our high school athletes.
. 2. Request the County Administrator to draft a letter from
the Board of - Supervisors to Doug Jones, Pacific Bell Area Manager of
the Greater Alameda County/West Contra Costa County Area, inviting him
to attend a future Board meeting so the Board may present him with
this resolution.
3 . Further, request the County Administrator to draft a
letter from the Board of Supervisors urging the Executive
Vice-President of Pacific Bell to initiate a similar. program that
would include the other high schools in Contra Costa County and in
Central/Eastern Alameda County.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The staff of the North Coast
Section, C.I .F. , has been of. great assistance to us in identifying
. deserving young athletes recognized at the Board' s Scholar Athlete
Recognition Program last February.
Through these contacts, I learned of efforts by the North .
Coast Section to plan a Scholar Athlete Program Awards Banquet to
recognize those outstanding scholar-athletes from the high schools
located in Eastern, Central, and Southern Contra Costa County and
Central and Eastern Alameda County. I have been working with the
North Coast Section staff in identifying possible sources of corporate
sponsorship for this banquet. The estimated cost of the banquet is
$15, 000 .
Pacific Bell ' s generous sponsorship of "A Celebration of
Scholar-Athletes" is certainly commendable and deserves the highest
recognition by our Board.
