FROM: Phil Batchelor Contra
County Administrator Clh7tCi
DATE: March 23 , 1988 ('�N '
SUBJECT; vim'
Legislation: Senate Bill 1767 (Robbins)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION: '
Support SB 1767 by. Senator Robbins if Senator Robbins is . willing
to amend the bill to include Contra Costa County.
BACKGROUND:
Current law authorizes San Diego and Alameda counties to
establish a fee not to exceed $30 for the processing of Accounts
Receivable for fines owed in criminal cases. SB 1767 would
increase this maximum administrative fee to $50 .
SB 1767, as amended March 14, 1988, would also exempt this
administrative fee from the fines and forfeitures which would
have to be transmitted to the State under SB 709.
In 1987, the Board had as a part of its legislative program . an
effort to have Contra Costa County included with those counties
which are authorized to impose .this administrative fee.
Legislation had been introduced by Senator Petris in 1986 but was
inadvertently limited to Alameda County at the last moment. The
County was unsuccessful in being added to the bill in 1987 .
Since inclusion of the County in SB 1767 would generate
substantial revenue which would be retained by the County to
assist in offsetting the costs of municipal courts, it is
recommended that the Board of Supervisors support SB 1767 if the'
author will amend the bill to include this County.
