CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS
Introduce, waive reading, and set Noveraber 71995, for adoption of the attached ordinance,
which would establish drug-free zones-for each public park in the unincorporated area of
Contra Costa County in order to provide for enhanced penalties for those who are convicted
of specified controlled substance offenses on such parks.
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors previously resolved to designate a "drug-free zone" around each
public and private school in the unincorporated area of the County so that the Contra Costa
County District Attorney and United States Attorney General would be encouraged to seek
the enhanced penalties which are provided under state and federal law for certain specified
controlled substance offenses when they occur on or within 1000 feet of such a school. The
attached ordinance expands the existing resolution by designating public parks, in the
unincorporated area of the County as "drug-free zones" and requiring their posting as such
so that enhanced penalties can be sought by the District Attorney for specified controlled
substances offenses on such parks.
