Adopted this Order on May 1, 1984 , by the following vote:
AYES: Supervisors Powers, Fanden, Schroder, Torlakson
NOES: None
ABSENT: Supervisor McPeak
SUBJECT: Proposal for the Establishment
of a Youth Conservation Corps
in Contra Costa County
On November 3, 1983 the Board requested the Contra Costa
County Private Industry Council (PIC) to continue exploration of a
proposal to establish a Youth Conservation Corps in Contra Costa
County, and also requested PIC to consider certain issues such as
participation in the East Bay Conservation Corps (a non-residential
program operated by the East Bay YMCA) , organizational structure and
funding of the County' s Corps, availability of public lands and/or
Public Works projects to make the program feasible, and the possible
adverse impact on the juvenile community services program of the
County' s Probation Department.
Arthur C. Miner, Executive Director, Contra Costa County
Private Industry Council, submitted a final report on said proposal
responding to the issues as noted above, supporting the concept of
the establishment of a Conservation Corps in the County but expressing
reservations with respect to obtaining adequate funding for the success
of the program. He advised that his staff recommends that for the
present the development of a Youth Conservation Corps in the County
be left to the development of an independent organization. He
suggested that if HR 999 or similar legislation is signed into law
and allows counties to receive funding of an American Conservation
Corps project, the Board should then review such legislation to
determine if establishment of a Corps could be conducted through the
County Board of Supervisors.
IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED that the aforesaid report is
REFERRED to the Internal Operations Committee (Supervisors Powers and
Fanden) for review.
I hereby certify that this Is a true and correct copy of
an action taken and entered on the mtMt23 of the
Board of Supervisors on th9 date Lhown.
