SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMUMATION
ENDORSE the "Contra Costa Fiscal Unity Summit" as a means for
cities, school districts and the County to develop consensus on a
new state revenue package and fiscal reform agenda.
BACKGROUND-
On January 15, 1991 the Board of Supervisors adopted a proposal
of Supervisor Torlakson which promotes the concept of school
districts, cities and the County working together to establish
fiscal stability by providing mutual support for one another' s
efforts to increase "stable revenue sources" and by advocating
for a state incentive program for inter-agency cost saving
ventures such as consolidation of services and/or elimination of
duplicated services, inter-agency , services, contracts, or joint
powers authorities.
The Board on February 5, 1991, referred to its Finance Committee
and the City-County Relations Committee for review the strategy
being developed by The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG)
for financing options and the process for building a coalition
among cities, school districts and the County. On March 13 , 1991
the Board approved the Finance Committee' s recommendations.
The City-County Relations Committee adopted the proposal to
schedule a countywide fiscal unity summit on future local
government financing to address this year' s fiscal crisis and to
address long-term needs in a comprehensive and unified manner.
