TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: Supervisor Tom Torlakson Contra
Costa
DATE: April 22, 1986 County
SUBJECT: POTENTIAL SOURCE OF ADDITIONAL REVENUE FOR COURT SYSTEM
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Refer to the County Administrator ' s Office
and the Justice System Executive Committee the potential source of
additional revenue for the courts in the form of additional penalties
in drunk driving cases.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: I recently learned that legislation was
passed and became effective at the beginning of this year that allowed
the doubling of fines for drunk driving cases. I also understand that
this has not yet been implemented in Contra Costa County. I would
like to know what can be done.'to implement the higher fees as quickly
as possible.
Not only does the court system desperately need the additional
revenue, but an additional intent behind the legislation is obviously
to make the penalties for drunk driving more severe to serve as a
further deterrent to driving under the influence.
