FROM: County Administrator Contra
Costa
DATE: February 1, 1989 County
SUBJECT: Fix Hearing for Special Tax Election for CSA P2-A
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Fix March 7 , 1989, 11 a.m. , for hearing on a proposed Ordinance
providing for a special tax increase to fund a higher level of
police services in County Service Area P2-A, Blackhawk area.
BACKGROUND
On January 31, 1989, the Board referred to this office the request
of Howard Adler, Chairman, Citizens Advisory Committee, County
Service Area P2-A, for the conduct of a special tax election to
allow the Service Area to increase its current assessment in order
to provide for a higher level of police services than provided by
the County. The Committee has determined from the results of a
survey recently conducted that the residents of Blackhawk are
interested in having continuous police service 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. The current ordinance in effect provides for
approximately 12 hours of this type of police service daily. The
Service Area has sufficient funds in its current budget to cover
election costs.
To initiate the process, the Board must hold a public hearing on
the proposed Ordinance prepared by County Counsel, receive public
comment, and approve the Ordinance for subsequent presentation to
the electorate living within the boundaries of CSA P2-A. In
approving the Ordinance, the Board must also authorize the County' s
Election Department to conduct the special mail election scheduled
to be held on June 13 , 1989.
If the election is successful, the additional assessment will
become effective July 1, 1989 to fund the higher level of services
desired beginning in the 1989-1990 fiscal year.
