FROM: Phil Batchelor Contra
County Administrator
Costa
DATE*. April 9, 1987 County
SUBJECT:
Legislation: Assembly Bill 803 (Margolin)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for AB 803 by Assemblyman Margolin
which would appropriate $25 million from the General Fund for
allocation to counties to provide services to Medically Indigent
Adults.
BACKGROUND:
In the budget for 1986-87, the Legislature appropriated funds for
the Medically Indigent Adult program. The Governor vetoed $50
million of those funds pending resolution of the issue involving
use of the Public Employees ' Retirement system surplus to finance
specified programs. At the end of the 1986 Session, the
Legislature passed legislation again appropriating the $50
million which had been vetoed by the Governor. The Governor
vetoed $25 million of this $50 million thereby leaving counties
short by $25 million of the money which had been anticipated
during the 1986-87 fiscal year, and which the Legislature clearly
intended to provide for this purpose.
Assemblyman Margolin has introduced AB 803 which appropriates
this remaining $25 million. For Contra Costa County, passage and
approval of SB 803 would provide $500,000, which has already been
budgeted as revenue for the current fiscal year. Failure to
provide this additional $25 million will create additional
pressures on the Health Services Department and their ability to
balance their budget for the balance of the current fiscal year.
It is, 'therefore, recommended that the Board go on record in
support of AB 803 .
