CONTRA COSTA COUNTY STA(`0SORS
DATE: March 22, 1993
TO: Board of Supervisors
FROM: Contra Costa County Revenue Task Force
SUBJECT: Public Committee to Examine Expenditure Reductions
We the members of the Contra Costa County Revenue Task Force think that any plan
for increased revenue should be accompanied by a balanced plan for expenditure
cuts. We are concerned that at present there appears to be no committee comparable
to the Revenue Task Force examining and making recommendations about
expenditure cuts. The Ad Hoc Budget Committee does discuss potential cuts and is
the nearest equivalent to our committee, but due to its large size and other
limitations, it appears to be unable to do analysis of any depth nor to develop
meaningful recommendations.
Therefore, we request that you appoint a task force to review and make
recommendations regarding expenditure cuts. Some members of this Task Force
believe our mandate should be enlarged to include this mission. While others think
our existing charge is already very time consuming. Whether a new committee or
an expansion of an existing one, a committee needs to be formed soon in order to
provide you with appropriate recommendations.
Please tell us what you think of our suggestion and how we may help. For example,
we can provide names of potential task force members. Thank you for your
attention.
