Contra
FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator
Costa
DATE: June 51985 County
SUBJECT: ,
Legislation: AB 2329 (Stirling)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Take no position at this time on AB 2329 by Assemblyman
Stirling, which would authorize any board of supervisors' to
create a county transportation authority which, in turn', would
be authorized to place an additional sales tax measure on the
ballot for highway and transit purposes.
BACKGROUND
AB 2329 would authorize any county to create a county
transportation authority. The authority, in turn, would be
authorized to place on the ballot a proposal for an increase in
the sales tax within that county of either 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, or
1%. This bill would extend to any county the authority
currently proposed for Contra Costa County in Senator
Boatwright' s SB 878 which establishes a County Transportation
Commission in this County.
AB 2329 was heard in the Assembly Revenue and Taxation
Committee on Monday, June 3 , but failed passage on a vote of
two "aye" to eight "no" . The bill was granted reconsideration,
but without substantial amendment, it seems unlikely to gain
sufficient support to pass the Committee. Therefore, there
seems to be no reason for the Board to take any position on the
bill in its present form.
