SUBJECT:Legislation: East Bay Regional Park District
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Agree not to oppose legislation sponsored by the East Bay
Regional Park District which would provide for the transfer of
50% of all fines and forfeitures collected for conviction of any
person, or upon the forfeiture of bail from any person arrested
for a violation of any rule, regulation, or ordinance of a
recreation and park district committed on property policed by the
district, with the remaining 50% to be retained by the County.
BACKGROUND:
Under current law, 500 of the fines and forfeitures for
violations occurring on property owned, administered, or
controlled by a recreation and park district is transferred to
the district, with the county retaining the balance.
The East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) has a contract under
which they police certain lands belonging to the East Bay
Municipal Utility District. Currently, EBRPD does all the
policing work while the County retains all the revenue. The
County incurs costs for all the related court work. However, it
appears only reasonable to share the fine and forfeiture revenue
with EBRPD.
David Pesonen, General Manager of EBRPD, has asked the County to
agree not to oppose this legislation. The legislation would
expand Penal Code Section 1463 . 05 to include in the 50% split to
the EBRPD land "policed" by the district. The total fines and
forfeitures covered by this amendment are estimated to be
approximately $50,000 per year, meaning a loss to the County of
approximately $25,000 per year.
We believe that if the District knows they will retain 50% of the
revenue from EBMUD land, they may be more diligent in citing
violators of various offenses thereby increasing overall revenue
and improving the level of police protection on EBMUD property
within the County that is policed by EBRPD staff.
We are, therefore, recommending that the Board agree not to
oppose such legislation if it is introduced /bye EBRPD.
