TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Contra
FROM: Sunne Wright McPeak
Costa
DATE: February 23, 1993 County
SUBJECT: Adoption of Local Ordinance to Prohibit Shift of
Property Taxes
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Request County Counsel and the CAO to prepare an ordinance for consideration by
the Board of Supervisors to require allocation of property tax revenues by the
locally-elected Auditor in 1993-94 as they were allocated in 1992-93. Further, set
a public hearing on this ordinance and notify all jurisdictions and the public of the
hearing.
In addition, request County Counsel and the CAO to explore whether or not
becoming a charter county would provide Contra Costa County with a greater.legal
footing for enforcing and sustaining implementation of the above ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
In the past, I have proposed the concept of a ballot measure being placed before
voters in all 58 counties sometime in 1993. The deadline for a June 1993 ballot
measure is apparently too close for statewide action. Therefore, the November
date is the remaining option. In the meantime, however, it is important to look at
all options. As I have talked with Supervisors throughout California, exploring the
feasibility of adopting an ordinance as outlined above appears to be a worthwhile
endeavor.
