REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS/BACKGROUND
The Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa and Solano Counties
received a letter from Paul Hughey, Executive Director of COLAB,
dated April 11, 1988 , on the status of the John Baldwin Ship
Channel project. This report was referred to the Finance Com-
mittee.
In the past, Contra Costa County has agreed to give 'general
assurances, acting as a local agency sponsor, for the John
Baldwin and Stockton Ship Channels. In acting as a local spon-
sor, the County has indicated that any financial obligations and
assurances that may come to the County as a sponsor would be
passed on to the benefiting private sector interests. Part of
the ship Channel has already been constructed. Additional seg-
ments are anticipated in the near future.

1.
The project costs are shared between the federal government and
local sponsors. With revised cost sharing policies on the part
of federal government, the local share will be substantial for
the ;Larger segments of the ship channel. It is necessary to
examine various suitable governmental mechanisms, such as as-
sessment districts or other special districts, to fund the local
share for these projects. It is appropriate at this time that
staff start to research various options.
We have requested the Community Development Department to report
back in January of 1989 to the Finance Committee on this matter.
