FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator Cwtra
to Costa
DATE: May 6, 1986 Courty
SUBJECT: Legislation: Senate Bill 1735 (Mello)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) a BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a position of support for SB 1735 by Senator Mello.
BACKGROUND:
Under existing law, the State Department of General Services is
required to establish an annual surcharge on intrastate telephone
services in an amount which it determines will provide sufficient
revenue to fund the State' s 911 Emergency Telephone Services
program. However, this surcharge cannot exceed 3/4 of one
percent.
The State now realizes that the 3/4 of one percent will be
insufficient to fully fund the program now that 911 is available
throughout California. Without an increase in the surcharge, the
91.1 program will be underfunded by 1989, resulting in a need for
emergency bail-out legislation. In order to avoid this emergency
situation, Senator Mello has introduced SB 1735 which allows the
surcharge to be increased to one percent, if needed, to fully
fund the costs of the 911 program.
The County Director of General Services recommends that the Board
support SB 1735 and this office concurs with this recommendation
in order to insure that the 911 program remains fully funded.
