We believe that this a retroactive tax. Our understanding is that only the Board of Supervisors can pass a tax in Contra Costa County. New taxes can only be put in place after Public Hearings. In discussions with Mr. S. Clifford Hansen, Deputy Public Works Director, he stated that he initiated this tax by Administrative Action. We ask to be put on the Agenda of the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors Meeting as soon as possible. Please notify us when we are on the Agenda.
