FROM: . Sunne Bright McPeak COZ>LCI e,+r-%
DATE: November 17, 1 19-92 County
SUBJECT: Follow -Up on measure B
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RE.COMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Support Contra Costa Council and Central Labor Council co-
sponsoring a citizen-based process to evaluate the Measure B
experience and to outline options for the future.
Further, request that these two organizations invite all other
groups who endorsed measure B to participate in this follow-up
process. Also, encourage that invitations be extended to the
Contra Costa Taxpayers' Association and other concerned civic
groups who did not endorse Measure B so that they may participate
if they chose to do so.
BACKGROUND:
The involvement this year of community organizations in both the
budget deliberations and the promotion of Measure B proved to. be
very valuable. It will be critical to sustain these civic
leadership organizations to provide input and advice to the Board
of Supervisors next year.
The Contra Costa Council and the Central Labor Council provide a
broad base of viewpoints from which to develop a process to
analyze the Measure B experience and results and to identify
options to address the .future county budget and service
challenges. Nearly two-thirds of the voters approved Measure B,
indicating a significant concern and understanding about the
severity of the local service cutbacks due to the state budget
crisis. The voters deserve our best effort to examine all
options for future consideration.
