FROM: Sunne Wright McPeak Contra
Costa
DATE:
January 21 , 1992 County
SUBJECT: Assistance from Legislative Delegation on State Budget
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Recommendation: Authorize the County Administrator and Chair to
write the State Legislative Delegation asking what recommendations
the legislators have in addressing the shortfall in realignment
revenues in the State Budget and seeking their support for
significant relief to save money in service delivery. Further
request the legislators to attend a special meeting of the Board of
Supervisors either in Martinez or Sacramento in the next two weeks
to develop a mutually acceptable stragegy.
Background: The Governor's budget message projects an estimated
$150 million shortfall in realignment revenues for the current
fiscal year due to the downturn in the economy. In order to cope
with this difficulty there must be increased flexibility and relief
from state mandates. We need the support of our legislators to
deal with the State Budget difficulties.
