SUBJECT: NEED TO OPEN A DIALOGUE WITH THE CITIES ON ANNEXATIONS AND
LOCAL REVENUE SOURCES
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Direct the County Administrator to write to the Contra Costa
Mayors ' Conference, suggesting that the County and the cities
open a dialogue with each other over the subject of annexations
and local revenue sources. This might be accomplished by forming
a committee consisting of two County Supervisors and the County
Administrator along with two Mayors designated by the Mayors'
Conference and a City Manager. The joint charge to this
Committee would be to open a dialogue between the cities and
County on all aspects of annexations, local service levels and
revenue sources, in hopes that some joint recommendations can be
developed which would be taken back to the Mayors ' Conference and
Board of Supervisors for their concurrence.
BACKGROUND:
The shortage of revenue faced by both cities and the County has
caused tensions to form between cities and the County. Money
issues have clouded an otherwise objective review of annexation
proposals. Differences of opinion over the appropriate
distribution of local revenues have caused problems in what
should otherwise be a cooperative relationship between cities and
the County as we both work to provide the highest quality of
services to all of the residents of the County in the most
effective and least expensive manner possible.
In an effort to overcome these difficulties, we are proposing
that representatives from both cities and the County sit down
face-to-face and try to work through these difference in as

candid a manner as possible and in a spirit of cooperation. For
this purpose we are proposing that the County Administrator be
directed to approach the Mayors ' Conference about their
willingness to appoint a Committee of elected officials and staff
which would meet in an effort to discuss and resolve some of the
differences which cities and the County have over annexations and
local revenues sources. We would propose that the Board of
Supervisors appoint two members who, along with the County
Administrator, would meet with a corresponding group of
representatives appointed by the Mayors ' Conference.
