BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator �,r,tra DATE; March 18, 1986 Costa CouY}�/ Special NACO Assessment for General Revenue rt SUBJECT: Sharing Funding Lobbying Effort SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATION: Determine whether or not to support the requested special NACO assessment for a General Revenue Sharing funding lobbying effort. If supported, authorize the Auditor-Controller .to pay the sum of $4,905 to NACO for this purpose. BACKGROUND: On November 5, 1985, the Board of Supervisors agreed to adopt a position in favor of NACO' s proposed program to create a fund to allow NACO to lobby for reauthorization of General Revenue Sharing for the period beginning October 1, 1986. The Board was not asked at that time to approve actual financial support for the campaign. The Board has now received a request that they approve a "special assessment" of $4905 as this County' s share of the campaign for General Revenue Sharing. This is intended to approximate 1/10 of 1% of the County' s annual allocation of General Revenue Sharing funds. While it may not be reasonable to expect that Congress will reauthorize General Revenue Sharing itself, the formation of a campaign fund by NACO can provide a vehicle for reminding Congress of the extensive cuts that have already been absorbed by State and local governments over the past five or so years, and the need for some relief in further cuts which end up being targeted at local government. The Board should determine as a matter of policy whether to support this request.
