BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: Phil Batchelor Contra
County Administrator Costa
DATE: April 30, 1987 County
SUBJECT:
Legislation: Assembly Bill 1940 (Quackenbush)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(.S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position in support of AB 1940 by Assemblyman Quackenbush
on the condition that the bill is amended to include Contra Costa
County. As introduced, AB 1940 requires the collection of an
additional $1. 00 in San Diego and Santa Clara counties from every
person ordered, in lieu of a fine, to attend traffic school or
any court-supervised program of driving instruction. These funds
would be deposited in the Courthouse Temporary Construction Fund.
BACKGROUND:
One of the priorities in the Board' s 1987 Legislative Program was
passage of legislation which would impose additional penalty
assessments on various types of convictions in order to raise
funds for the Courthouse Temporary Construction Fund. AB 1940 is
one of those vehicles. AB 1940 would impose an additional $1.00
on each person who is ordered, in lieu of a fine, to attend
traffic school. These funds would go to the Courthouse Temporary
Construction Fund. Santa Clara County has asked Contra Costa
County to agree to support the bill if we are added as one of the
counties which can impose this additional assessment.
Since the County continues to have substantial needs for new
courtrooms in the Municipal Courts and ongoing remodeling in both
the Municipal and Superior Courts, AB 1940 provides an additional
vehicle for funding such work. It is, therefore, recommended
that the Board of Supervisors go on record in support of AB 1940
on the condition that Contra Costa County is added to the bill.
