FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator Contra
Costa
DATE: - �`
April 29, 1985 County
SUBJECT: Legislation: AB 2207 (Konnyu)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position of opposition to AB 2207 by Assemblyman
Konnyu, which would reduce the State share of foster care
payments from 95% to 50% of the non-federal share.
BACKGROUND:
AB 2207 is the Administration' s proposal to reduce the State' s
share of foster care from 95% to 50% effective January 1, 1986
when the existing 95% State share will expire. The Board is
already on record in favor of the County-sponsored legislation
which will continue the 95% State share indefinitely (AB 454
and SB 1078) . Passage of AB 2207 would cost Contra Costa
County approximately $1 ,055,075 for the last half of the
1985-1986 fiscal year and more than $2 million a year
thereafter.
The issue of foster care funding is one of the major budgetary
issues confronting the County this fiscal year and strong
opposition to the Administration' s proposal is essential in
order to assist in balancing the County' s 1985-1986 budget. It
is, therefore, recommended that the Board strongly oppose AB
2207.
