PHIL BATCHELOR,CLERK OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR BY DEPUTY M382 (10/88) I .O. -7 of the Countywide Drug and Alcohol Action Plan on November 25, 1991. BACKGROUND: On October 1, 1991 the Board of Supervisors approved our most recent status report on this subject. On October 28, 1991 our Committee met with the Health Services Director, County Counsel and John Gregory from the County Administrator' s Office. We reviewed the attached memorandum transmitting the proposed "kegger" Ordinance and the terms of the Ordinance itself, we reviewed the attached memorandum from the Health Services Director providing a status report on various activities which are taking place in relation to alcohol and drug program and we reviewed the activities which took place during. Red Ribbon Week, as is reflected in the attached memorandum from John Gregory. We are pleased to recommend the introduction of the "kegger" Ordinance, which is based of similar ordinances which have been adopted in other cities in the County, beginning with the City of Concord. The Ordinance makes it illegal for any person to permit a gathering on private property where five or more persons under the age of twenty-one ( 21) are present and where alcoholic beverages are in the possession of or are being consumed by any person under the age of twenty-one ( 21) . The Ordinance provides that if a Sheriff' s Deputy responds to a call and determines that there is a threat to the public peace, health, safety, or' general welfare of the public and warns the person responsible for the gathering that if he or she has to respond again there will be a. charge of not to exceed $500 to cover the cost of the sheriff ' s personnel and other defined costs as identified in the Ordinance. In addition, the second and subsequent responses can result in arrest or citation or both for violations of the Penal Code or other provisions of the Ordinance Code. We are also pleased with the number and variety of activities which are taking place and which are being supported or provided by Health Services Department personnel. We are also most pleased with the number of activities which took place during Red Ribbon Week. We will continue to receive status reports from the Health Services Director on a monthly basis and will report the highlights of those reports to the Board of Supervisors. cc: County Administrator County -Counsel Health Services Director Alcohol Program Administrator Drug Program Administrator Kathy Padro, Alcohol & Drug Programs, HSD Joyce White, Alcohol & Drug Programs, HSD Vic Colman, OSAP Project Coordinator, HSD John Gregory, County Administrator' s, Office COUNTY COUNSEL'S OFFICE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY MARTINEZ, CALIFORNIA Date: October 22 , 19 91 To: Internal Operations Committee From: Victor J.

(Ord. 91- 54-3.002 DEFINITIONS. The definitions in this chapter and in this ordinance code govern the construction of this chapter, unless the context otherwise requires.
