Corcoran, Auditor-Controller By: David A. Sumner, CIA,CGFK Senior Auditor SUBJECT: Library Report of Shortage and Request for Relief of Accountability We have reviewed the attached report of the break-in into the Antioch library, which resulted in a loss of$276 undeposited collections and revolving funds, and the request for discharge from accountability for these funds. The Library has since improved its closing procedures to mitigate control weaknesses that precipitated this loss. In our opinion, implementation of the security measures will deter reoccurrence of the events that resulted in this loss. In accordance with the provisions of Administrative Bulletin 207.6, since amount of loss exceeds $250 the matter should be presented to the Board of Supervisors for action. We recommend that the Board of Supervisors grant relief of shortage and accountability for these funds.

At gam,the rest of the staff also arrived at work(Confetti,Bryant,Johnson,Shipe). Nothing had been disturbed except the padlocked locker in the staff room containing the library's money had been broken into and all of the money stolen. Apparently the outside meeting room door was shut,but not latched tightly. Someone came into the meeting room. Then threw their shoulder/weight at the kitchen r breaking the door frame and forcing the door open. There was no damage to the door or signs of it being kicked. Then they kicked the padlock and the handle off the bottom locker marked pat. The door was dusted for fingerprints,but no luck. However,all of the broken pieces and the padlockwere not on the floor and no where to be found. A gray metal money box(about 41/2"x1111x7") with about$20 in Friends Booksale money was taken.

Forth 1.45(4/97) 14 Contra Costa County Library Incident Report Submitted by: Patty Chan Date: 8/10/99 Reviewed by: Date: Form 1.45{4/97} ��V Contra TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS `rte Costa �I. FROM: Supervisor Jae CanCiamiila County DATE: January 11, 2000 ,. SUBJECT: REQUEST ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND COUNTY COUNSEL TO REVISE CONTRA COSTA CODE SECTION 428-6.589 RELATIVE TO SUBDIVISIONS AND INDIVIDUAL SEPTIC SYSTEMS SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1. Request Environmental Health Department and County Counsel to revise Contra Costa County Code Section 420-6.509 to eliminate the requirement for a government agency to be formed to provide oversight for the use of an alternative sewage system. Further request that the revised code section be brought back to the Board no later than January 25, 2000 for commencement of the necessary legal hearings required to implement the revised code. 2. Request that the Environmental Health Department provide a status report on revisions to the County's septic ordinance, including a timeline for public hearings on the draft ordinance prior to its consideration by the Board of Supervisors. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The current code for subdivisions states "that the health officer shall not consider or approve ...use of a alternative sewage disposal system for a subdivision, outside of an existing incorporated city, or sanitary or sanitation district, unless a governmental agency is formed, which agency shall have the authority and responsibility to install and maintain such system." We have encountered a situation where, due to this code, the property owners have had to request annexation to a non-contiguous sanitary district, just to get their subdivision map recorded. This then negates the alternative system, as the sanitary district will require hook-up to their system and extremely significant cost because the existing system is far away from this location. The property owner is now in danger of losing their property. In fact, alternative systems are now being allowed on individual lots by the Health Department, subject to certain requirements. The current code places property owners in a catch-22 situation. Residents and contractors alike in East Contra Costa County have encountered significant problems in obtaining septic permits dating back over the last decade. Some of the problems have been related to the property itself; however, many of the problems have been directly attributable an outdated County code which did not allow for alternative systems, or placed substantial restrictions, as well as to the process employed by the County in granting and processing septic applications.

The Board requested that the Health Department immediately pursue modification to the current code, particularly the use of alternative systems. To date, these actions have not been completed. Throughout this almost decade long process, homeowners have continued to experience difficulties obtaining septic permits, particularly in the East County agricultural areas. Contra TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS LraSta FROM: Supervisor Joe Canciamilla County DATE: January 11, 2000 SUBJECT: REQUEST THAT THE BOARD RECONSIDER ADOPTING AN ORDINANCE ALLOWING FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PROPOSITION 90 RELATIVE TO PROPERTY TAX TRANSFERS SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDED ACTION: Request that the Board of Supervisors reconsider adoption of an ordinance allowing for the implementation of Proposition 90 relative to property tax transfers. Refer this issue to the Finance Committee and, request that staff prepare a preliminary report evaluating the budgetary impact of re-adopting this ordinance for the Finance Committee's next agenda. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In March 1989 the Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance 89-25 allowing for the implementation of Proposition 90, implementing provisions of a state ballot measure which allowed the transfer of base property tax values for those over 55 moving from another county into Contra Costa County and amended Chapter 66-10, Taxation of Replacement Residences, The Board subsequently repealed Chapter 66-10 by the Board in 1993. There have been a number of"over 55" developments constructed in Contra Costa County, and my office has received several inquiries from incoming residents who were either not aware that this ordinance had been repealed in our County, and are simply inquiring why it is not in effect. I believe it is appropriate to revisit this issue.
