Schroder Supervisor, Third District 510 LaGonda Way Danville, California 94526 Dear Bob alQ,y*�• Thank you for your letter of inquiry regarding the safety equipment deficiencies existing in the Marshal' s Department. Your understanding as to the role of Deputy Marshals in law enforcement is very correct. Deputy Marshals are, by statute, included in all areas of law enforcement and are defined in the penal code under Section 832. 1 along with sheriffs and police. Attached to this response is a copy of a list of equipment deficiencies sent to me by the Deputy Marshals Association. Any help you can give us Will be greatly appreciated. S ' c rely, Rodger L. Davis Marshal RLD/jmm Enclosure _MAR 28 1986 SUPERVISOR H D R .t 3,I MAgr�' z t! n CONTRA COSTA COUNTY DEPUTY MARSHALS ASSOCIATION March 25, 1986 Rodger L . Davis , Marshal 640 Ygnacio Valley Rd . Walnut Creek Cts Dear Marshal Davis , In response to our discussion and pursuant to your request , the Board has compiled a .list of basic safety equipment deficiencies .. It is felt ` by our membership , that these areas are very basic to our safety needs . In comparing our department to all the other departments in the county , we have found that we are the only agency lacking these items . To date we are the only agency that is required, to scrounge old used obsolete safety equipment being discarded by other local agencies , and expected to use it as first line ' equipment . Other agencies have discarded this old safety equipment for a reason . We are now formally requesting that the county bring our department up to basic operating standards , and provide the required and necessary equipment in order for us to perform our duties without undue risk to our personal safety . It is our sincere hope that these serious deficiencies can be remedied without necessitating legal action . We are confident that we can resolve these safety deficiencies long before that would become necessary . Enclosed you should find an attached list and approximate prices of the items we are pursuing . You comments will be appreciated .

TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FROM: Supervisor Tom Torlakson """ 'tea Costa DATE: December 10, 1985 County REFERRAL OF ALL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT DECISIONS SUBJECT: IN THE SOUTHEAST GENERAL PLAN AREA TO THE COUNTY PLANNING COMMISSION FOR PUBLIC. HEARINGS SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATION: Enact an emergency ordinance referring all wind- mill applications within the Southeast County General Plan Amendment Area currently heard by the Zoning Administrator to the County Planning Commission for !'public hearing. This is a recognition that the pending applications are of established public concern and importance. This is a logical method to ensure full public participation and involvement in important planning decisions affecting concerned citizens and property owners alike. It would also serve to expedite the process in my opinion. i There has been confusion under the current process which threatens continued good faith negotiations and the task force process we have ini- tiated to resolve issues in the Southeast Area. BACKGROUND: The Board of Supervisors declined to enact a "mora- torium" in thesoutheastern portion of Contra Costa County. Since the major pending land use applications were the five (5) outstanding permit applications to establish wind farms , it was determined that the specific problems could1be addressed without a formal moratorium. Since then, I have sponsored several meetings to attempt to resolve the issues surrounding windfarm development . The County Zoning Administrator was to hear projects after the East Diablo Planning Advisory Committee (EDPAC) had reviewed apfications . The Zoning Administrator _a_pp�p�rovCounty File #2131-85 (Windmaster/Lopez) on December 2 ,1 1985 . EDP C- cl—ed aims to have not received a copy of that application and it is not scheduled to be heard until December 11th (tomorrow) . Since the decision was made at the Zoning Administrator level without adequate public review and since the applicant is also not satis- fied with the decision, both environmental groups and the applicant have requested recolnsideration or are planning to file appeals. Additionally, the Mt. Diablo Audubon Society has appealed the staff recommendation for a Negative Declaration for four (4) applications , including #2131-85. The other three (3) applications were by Altamont Energy Corporation (.#2124-85 , 2105-85 , and 2127-85) . The appeal was sub- mitted on November 25th, and referred by the Board on December 3, 1985 , to the Community Development Department. � d CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: X YES SIGNATURE: RECOMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDATION OF BOARD COMMITTEE APPROVE OTHER I SIGNATURE(S) ACTION OF BOARD ON Dprp I hpr 10- 1985 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER XX The Board REQUESTED County Counsel and the Community Development Director to review the above and the windmill application process and to report to the Board. i VOTE OF SUPERVISORS X UNANIMOUS (ABSENT ) i HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A TRUE AYES: NOES: AND CORRECT COPY OF AN ACTION TAKEN ABSENT: ABSTAIN: AND ENTERED ON THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON THE DATE SHOWN.
