FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator

DATE: `�
April 10, 1985 County
SUBJECT: Legislation: AB 1221 (Alatorre)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of opposition to AB 1221 by Assemblyman
Alatorre which would increase the share of tines going to
Community Colleges for offenses occurring on Community College
property at the expense of the County General Fund.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Passage of AB 1221 in its present form would cost the County
General Fund approximately $62 ,300 per year and produce a
windfall of a corresponding amount to the Community College
District.
BACKGROUND:
Current law provides that the County and the Community College
District share fine and forfeiture revenue for offenses
occurring on Community College District property on a 500
County--50s Community College basis. AB 1221 would change this
distribution to 15% County--85% Community College District.
There is no evidence presented to show that such a change in
any way reflects the relative share of costs for processing
such violations through the court system and, therefore, any
change appears to be an arbitrary effort to advantage the
Community College District at the expense of the County General
Fund.
In addition, AB 1221 expands the violations to which the split
applies from parking violations to all violations. The County
currently retains all fine and forfeiture revenue on
non-parking violations.
The Clerk--Administrator of the Walnut Creek--Danville
Municipal Court has estimated the lost revenue annually to the
County General Fund at $62 ,300 and recommends that the Board of
Supervisors strongly oppose AB 1221. This office concurs with
that recommendation.
