From: William B. Walker, M.D.
Health Services Director
Date: October 10, 2000
Subject: Extension of Emergency Declaration Regarding Homelessness
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATIONS)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Recommendation:
DETERMINE that there is a need to continue with the emergency action originally taken by the Board
on November 16, 1999 regarding the issue of homelessness in Contra Costa County.
Background:
On November 16, 1999, the Board of Supervisors declared a local emergency, pursuant to the
provisions of Government Code Section 8630, on homelessness in Contra Costa County. This local
emergency was extended on December 1, 1999, December 20, 1999, January 11, 2000, January 25,
2000, February 15, 2000, March 7, 2000, March 21, 2000, April 11, 2000, May 16, 2000, June 6, 2000,
July 18, 2000, August 8, 2000, September 12, 2000, and September 26, 2000.
Government Code Section 8630 required that, for a body which meets weekly that the need to continue
the emergency declaration be reviewed at least every 14 days until the local emergency is terminated.
In no event is the review to take place more than 21 days after the previous review.
With the continuing inclement weather and no additional resources having been able to be placed on
line to assist in sheltering homeless individuals and families, it is appropriate for the Board to continue
the declaration of a local emergency regarding homelessness.
