CO 3" n'C.- t- in and ex officio c1c;k of tho Bomtrd BY , Deputy cc: County Administrator Sheriff-Coroner Probation Officer 00 13� TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FROM: Supervisor Tom Torlakson Contra Costa DATE: April 24, 1984 O^ SUBJECT: MARINE PATROL SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) a BACMSM3UND AND JUSTIFICATION Informational: I am concerned about the level of marine patrol serving the waterways in our county. Boater traffic in the Delta alone has increased over 20% over the last five years and is expected to double by 1990, yet the level of marine patrols has not increased accordingly. The taxes collected on boater fees and personal property tax on boats, and the boat gas tax are not fully being spent on marine-related activities in Contra Costa County. Increased marine patrols would benefit the entire county, from Richmond to Rodeo to Martinez as well as the Delta. Just recently, this county received state funds to purchase a new boat for the marine patrol. I understand some snags have been encountered in the.purchase of this boat. The .boating season has begun and boat traffic in our waterways have increased dramatically. Serious efforts should be made to complete the purchasing process since the funds have already been received from the state for this purpose. Recommended Action: I strongly recommend that in the next budget year we increase the marine patrol and set a goal and program for increasing patrols over the next five years to keep up with the needs bf public safety and security in our waterways. Furthermore, I recommend that the County Adminstrator take immediate action to speed up the process for purchasing the boat for the marine patrol. This matter should be referred to the County Administrator and the Sheriff .for further review.
