WRENS over the years the Federal, State and County
governmental units have achieved better service to their constitu-
ents by sharing the cost through partnership programs; and
WHEREAS the integrity of this relationship can, only be
maintained by the respective partners adherence to the content and
letter of such programs; and
"WHEREAS the Senate now has under consideration AB 583,
a bill which would shift the burden of the State Medical Program by
requiring counties to pay 50% of all ether cast increases in such
program due to inflation, the extension of services., or the improve-
ment of Medical Care Standards which under AB 5 of 1965 were to be
borne by the State under the County caption; and
WHEREAS the Option Amendment to the original medical
bill was inserted after many meetings and discussionswith the
counties in order to insure them that no undue burden would be
shifted to the real property tax payer; and
WHEREAS in reliance upon the foregoing Contra Costa
. County Supervisors supported the medical legislation;',
OIvr, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF
SUPERVISORS
l.. That we wholeheartedly support the position of
the County Supervisors .Association of the State

made in the medical legislation which would have
the effect of shifting any portion of the cost of
the program to the Counties other than those
that exist in AB 5.
2. That any amendment to the prior bill ;which would
have the above effect will be considered a Breach
of Faith, by the Board of Supervisors of the
County of Contra Costa.

a deleterious effect on the welfare of the people
of this county in that all future partnership
programs will be looked upon by the Board with
distrust.
