SUBJECT: �
Legislation: Senate Bill 2732 (Robbins)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position in support of SB 2732 which would continue the
one-time block grant received by the county in 1987 for the
1988-89 fiscal year.
BACKGROUND:
Under the provisions of Chapter 1286 of the Statutes of 1987,
counties received a one-time block grant intended to assist with
some of the more pressing financial problems confronted by
counties. Contra Costa County received $2. 2 million from this
block grant.
Senator Robbins has introduced SB 2732 which would continue this
block grant for the 1988-89 fiscal year if revenue estimates
issued by the State Department of Finance indicate that the State
will exceed its "Gann limit" for the 1988-89 fiscal year.
SB 2732 provides an alternative to the action taken last year by
the Legislature in returning to the taxpayers some $1. 1 billion
which was the amount by which the State had exceeded its Gann
limit. Since a discretionary block grant to local government is
exempt from the State Is Gann limit, the State could fund this
block grant again for the upcoming fiscal year if it appears that
they will otherwise exceed their Gann limit.
This office is, therefore, recommending that the Board support SB
2732 .
