On June 8, 1993, our Committee reported this matter back to the
Board of Supervisors, asking that the Building & Construction
Trades Council provide our Committee on November 8, 1993, with a
copy of the report they were commissioning.
On November 8, 1993, our Committee met with Greg Feere from the
Building & Construction Trades Council. Mr. Feere noted that the
study was not completed and that they would still appreciate
receiving any demographic or statistical information which would
assist their consultant in determining the average cost of living
in Contra Costa County.
We have been cautioned against sponsoring or appearing to validate
in advance any particular figures establishing an average cost of
living in this County since such information could be used against
the County in future litigation. We are, therefore, simply urging
County Departments, the Contra Costa Council and Central Labor
Council to provide any information they may have available which
might be helpful in this study to the Building & Construction
Trades Council . We are also suggesting that the Board of
Supervisors review and take under consideration any future "report
which it may receive which speaks to this subject.
